Narcissus Tazetta, Linn. var. AMARVLLioEiE. 



The Narcissus, nastar, nargis. The bulbs of this plant 

 were obtained by nie at Bala-morghab in the winter of 

 1884, and sent to Kew on the 18th January 1885. They 

 flowered at Kew during 1887, producing a double crown ; this 

 is worthy of notice, as the bulbs were those of indigenous 

 plants, and not collected anywhere near where they could 

 have been from cultivation. During the summer I did not 

 meet with the plant, and therefore had no specimens of it in 

 my herbarium.
