Gen. Cuar.—See description of Plate XXII. Part I. 
(A.) Spec. Cuar.—Flowers large and loose, yellow with orange crown, 
9-12. Scape nearly cylindrical, not 2-edged. Divisions of perianth 
slightly longer than tube, the outer oblongo-elliptic, mucronate, the inner 
subobtuse. Crown small, cupshaped, sides upright, about one-fourth 
length of divisions of perianth, orifice nearly circular, entire. Leaves

channelled. Narcissus chrysanthus, DC. Fl. Fr. v. 323; Gren. et Godr. Fl.

about 5. Scape markedly 2-edged, not prominently ribbed, 11 in. 
long. Divisions of perianth about one-third shorter than tube, the outer 
oblongo-obovate mucronate, the inner ovate acute. Crown small, cup- 
shaped, sides upright, about one-third divisions of perianth, orifice nearly 
circular, entire. Leaves glaucous green, peculiarly narrow, evenly curved 
and not angularly channelled on surface 10-104 in. long. 
Narcissus Bertolonit, Parl. Fl. Ital. iii. 132. 
Hasitats.—(A.) From a fresh specimen, and a photograph sent to me 
by Dr. Bornet, from M. Thuret’s garden at Antibes, where plants of 
N. chrysanthus, DC., originally obtained from Grasse, are cultivated. 
Feb. 9, 1870. (B.) From plants originally obtained in terraces at San 
Remo, cultivated in my garden at Mentone, Dec. 13, 1869. 
Remarks.—The two species represented in this plate are allied to 
N. aureus, Lois. (Part I. Plate XXII.), but are much rarer forms. The 
very broad divisions and deeper colour of the flower distinguish V. awreus 
from these at a glance; while the proportions of the divisions no less 
readily distinguish M. chrysanthus from N. Bertolonii. N. chrysanthus 
is only known as yet as growing in the neighbourhood of Grasse, and at 
Le Bar, a village to the north-east of Grasse, in the department of the 
Alpes Maritimes. NV. Bertolonii, Parl., is said by Parlatore to grow in 
the neighbourhood of Lucca and Pisa only, but has since been discovered 
in tolerable abundance near San Remo. I have received from San Remo 
a curious hybrid, which was evidently the offspring of N. remopolensis, 
Panizzi (a subspecies split from NV. Tazzetta), and NV. Bertolonit, among 
tufts of which it was found growing by the Rev. B. Somerset. The 
flowers had yellowish-white divisions, prolonged as in J. remopolensis,
