1900 SUPPLEMENT—RECENT INTRODUCTIONS, &c. 548 
Narcissus—continued. 
January and February. A dozen bulbs may be accom- 
modated in a din. pot. 
Pests. It may be urged in respect of Narcissi that 
they are remarkably free from pests, either animal or 
vegetable. Mice, rats, and rabbits are sometimes 
troublesome, and these must be trapped. Occasionally, 
too, the Lily Fungus attacks the bulbs, causing them to 
present a secabby appearance, and later affecting the 
foliage. As a preventive measure, Veltha has been found 
of use. Of insect pests, the Narcissus Fly (which 
see) is the worst; but sometimes the larve of Bibio 
Marci (St. Mark’s Fly) (which see) attack bulbs of 
Daffodils and other Narcissi. Then the very common 
Bulb-Mite (Rhizolglyphus echinopus) works considerable 
mischief to the fleshy roots. This is a minute pest, and 
should be treated as advised under Eucharis. It is 
found upon most bulbous subjects. 
To the species and varieties described on pp. 411-20, 
Vol II., the following should be added: 
N. Bernardi (Bernard’s). This has an orange- or lemon-yellow 
and more plicate corona half as long as the spreading, white 
segments; otherwise it does not differ from N. Macleaii (of 
which Baker classes it as a form). South of France. 
N. Bulbocodio-Pseudo-Narcissus (hybrid). 7. milky-white, 
horizontal, lsin. léng; tube narrowly funnel-shaped, tinged 
with green, gin. long; segments linear, ascending, rather 
shorter than the corona, which is gin. long, faintly crenulate 
at the throat; peduncle slender, terete, one-flowered. J. linear, 
slightly glaucescent, channelled down the face, din. broad. 
Portugal, 1887. An interesting natural hybrid between the 
species indicated in the name. (G. C. 1887, i, f. 78.) 
N. calathinus is a sub-species of NV. triandrus. 
N. cyclamineus (Cyclamen-like). A form of N. Pseudo-Nar- 
eissus, 
N. elegans (elegant). The correct name of NV. serotinus elegans. 
N. Johnstoni (Johnston’s). A variety of N. Pseudo-Narcissus. 
N. Jonquilla Burbidgei (Burbidge’s). A variety having the 
corona cut into six segments nearly to the base. Native 
country unknown, 1885. 
N. juncifolio-muticus (hybrid).“ #. three, on a slender, 
terete peduncle, the two upper ones ascending, the lower one 
horizontal; perianth tube greenish-yellow, gin. long, the ex- 
panded limb bright lemon-yellow, horizontal, 14in. in diameter, 
the segments ovate-oblong, much imbricated; corona orange- 
yellow, obconical, sin. long. Latter end of April. 72. narrow- 
linear, channelled. Pyrenees, 1886. An interesting natural 
hybrid between N. juncifolius and N. Pseudo-Narcissus muticus. 
(G. C. 1889, vi., p. 161, f. 22.) 
N. major (larger). A variety of N. Psewlo-Narcissus. 
N. minor (smaller). A variety of N. Pseudo-Narcissus. 
N. moschatus (musky). A variety of N. Pseudo-Narcissus. 
N. muticus (curtailed). A form of N. Pseudo-Narcissus. 
N. poeticus bifiorus plenus (two-flowered, double). M 
double, two on each scape. 1885. A fine variety. (R. G. 1193.) 
N. Pseudo-Narcissus cyclamineus (Cyclamen-like). (7., 
perianth lemon-yellow, the tube very short, the segments 
nearly lin. long, strongly reflexed from the base; corona 
as long as, or longer than, the segments, rather deeper 
in colour, the edge crenate; scape sub-terete, 6in. to 12in. 
long. Spring. J. two or three, linear, sub-erect, deeply 
channelled. Bulb sin. in diameter. Portugal. (B. M. 6950.) 
N. P.-N. Johnstoni (Johnston’s). jl. pale sulphur, remarkable 
for the long and rather slender corona tube, which is about 
Zin. long, and less spreading at the mouth than in the common 
Daffodil, Portugal, 1887. 
N. P.-N. muticus (curtailed). #. lin. to sin. long; tube 
obconical, 4in. long and broad; segments sulphur-yellow, lin. 
to ljin. long; corona deep lemon-yellow, as long as the seg- 
ments, Zin. in diameter at the very truncate throat. Pyrenees. 
(F. M., t. 224, under name of N. muticus.) 
N. Sabinii (Sabine’s). fl. solitary, drooping; perianth tube 
green, cylindrical, somewhat funnel-shaped ; segments whitish, 
shining, broad, imbricated, ovate ; corona yellow, plaited, Zin. 
long, erose; scape ancipitous, channelled. Spring. J. pale 
een, broad, few. This form, which is closely allied to 
y. Macleaii, has been re-introduced by Mr. Barr. (B. R. 762.) 
N. scaberulus (slightly scabrous). #., perianth yellow, iin. to 
gin. across, stalked, bent; tube hee aes din. to jin, long; 
segments ovate, imbricated, the three inner ones broadest, 
apiculate, slightly fringed at tips, spreading, ultimately 
slightly reflexed; corona about {in. across, cup-shaped, more 
or less crenate; scape 2}in. to 4in. long, one- or two-flowered. 
March and April. /. two, linear, more or less prostrate, 
longer than the scape, slightly furrowed above, two-angled 
beneath. Bulb small. Oliviera do Conde, Portugal. 
N. serotinus elegans is now classed as a species. 
Narcissus—continued. 
N. syriacus (Syrian). A synonym of N. Tazetta. 
N. Tazetta intermedius is now accorded specific rank. 
xarden Varieties. A few of the more recent and 
desirable varieties in the yarious sections are here briefly 
noticed : 
Types of Garden Narcissi. 
N. Backhousei (Backhouse’s). . solitary, horizontal; tube 
obeonical, about 4in. long and broad; segments  sulphur- 
yellow, spreading horizontal. , oblong, imbricated, lin. to 14in. 
long; corona lemon-yellow, a little shorter than the seginents, 
with a deeply-lobed, plicate, erect throat. An intermediate 
form between N. Pseudo-Narcissus and N. incomparabilis, the 
former of which it resembles in stature and leaves. 
N. Barrii (Barr's). fl. horizontal or ascending ; perianth tube 
greenish, sub-cylindrical, lin. Jong; segments pale sulphur- 
yellow, oblong, spreading horizontally, slightly imbricated 
when fully expanded, ljin. long, jin. broad at the middle; 
corona lemon-yellow below, orange-yellow at the throat, 
obconical, 4in. long, gin. broad at the throat, crenulate, 
strongly plicate in the upper half; stamens all six opposite 
the base of the corona; style just overtopping the anthers ; 
ovary oblong-triangular, 4in. long; peduncle ancipitous, one- 
flowered, about lft. long; pedicel and spathe as in N. incom- 
parabilis. JU. linear, twisted, glaucous, above lft. long, din. 
broad. No doubt a hybrid between WN. incomparabilis and 
JV. poeticus, the former predominant. 
N. Burbidgei (Burbidge’s). #. horizontal or ascending; 
perianth tube green, cylindrical, lin. long; segments pure 
white, spreading horizontally, not imbricated, oblanceolate- 
oblong, TaEpiabes ljin. long, in. broad; corona obconical, 
din. long, 4in. broad at the throat, very plicate, crenulate, the 
base yellow, the edge a red; anthers and stigma placed 
in the corona; ovary oblong-triangular, Jin. long; peduncle 
one-flowered, ancipitous, lft. long; pedicel and spathe as in 
NV. poeticus. 1. linear, glaucous, twisted, above lft. long, tin. 
to sin. broad. No doubt a hybrid between N. poeticus and 
N. incomparabilis, the former element strongly predominating. 
N. Humei (Hume's). 7. solitary, cernuous; tube obconical, sin. 
long, 4in. broad; segments sulphur-yellow, oblong, loosely 
ascending, lsin. long, 4in. broad; corona lemon-yellow, lin. 
long, lin. broad at the erect throat, which is minutely 
erenulate. J. jin. broad. A hybrid, no doubt between 
N. poculiformis and N. Pseudo-Narcissus. 
N. Leedsii (Leeds’). jl. about horizontal; perianth tube 
greenish, cylindrical, Zin. long ; segments milk-white, spreading, 
oblanceolate-oblong, cuspidate, lin. to lin. long, 4in. to Zin. 
broad at the middle, not imbricated; corona pale sulphur- 
yellow, 4in. long, 4in. in diameter at the throat, plicate in the 
upper half, crenulate at the erect margin; anthers all six 
placed opposite the base of the corona; style overtopping the 
anthers; ovary oblong-triangular, sin. to sin. long; peduncle 
one-flowered, ancipitous, a little longer than the leaves; 
pedicel lin. long; spathe one-valved, membranous, clasping 
the pedicel and ovary. J. linear, twisted, glaucous, lft. long, 
tin. broad. Probably a hybrid between N. poculiformis and 
and some form of N. incomparabilis. 
N. Macleaii. This species is described in Vol. II.
