•I in. long and broad; segments sulphur-yellow, 1-1^- in. long; 

 corona deep lemon-yellow, as long as the segments, f in. diam. at 

 the very truncate throat. — Pyrenees. Haworth's other species of 

 Oileus, hexmujularis, minor, albus, and pumibis, are known only from 

 old figures. 



Subsp. A. cYCLAMiNEUS Haw. N. cyclamineus Baker in Bot. Mag. 

 t. 6950. — Leaves narrow linear, with a deeply grooved keel. 

 Peduncle stender, subterete. Flower very drooping ; tube obconic, 

 l-12th in. long; segments abruptly reflexed, lemon-yellow, \ in. 

 broad ; corona as long as the segments, orange -yellow, crenate at 

 the throat, under |- in. diam. — An old type, lately rediscovered near 

 Oporto by Messrs. Johnston and Tait. 



Subsp. N. MAJOR Curt, in Bot. Mag. t. 51 ; Burbidge, tab. 4a. 

 A^. hispanicms Gouan. — More robust than Fseudo -narcissus, and 

 larger in all its parts. Leaves |-| in. broad. Flower 2-2|- in. 

 long ; tube obconic, f in. long and broad ; segments in the type 

 spreading, not imbricated, lemon-yellow, 1^ in. long, ^ in. broad, 

 just the same length and nearly the same shade as the corona, 

 which has a deeply-lobed ascending much crisped margin, and a 

 throat about an inch in diameter. A. propinqnus Haw. (Bot. Mag. 

 t. 1301, upper figure) has more ascending segments ; A. inaxiinus 

 Haw. (Burbidge, tab. 4b), a larger flower, and more spreading 

 corona-rim ; A. spuriiis Haw., broad imbricated perianth-segments, 

 and a very spreading corona-rim; A. Telavw7iius Haw., of which 

 the double-flowered form is very common in gardens, has the 

 sulphur-yellow segments of Pseudo-narcissus and the large flower of 

 major; and ^. tuhajiorus Jleih. and A. lorifolius Haw. (Bot. Mag. 

 t. 1187) are forms between major and hicolor. Upwards of fifty 

 forms have garden names. 



Subsp. N. MINOR Linn. Sp. PI. 415 ; Bed. Lil. t. 480 ; Burbidge, 

 t. 5 a. — Much smaller in all its parts than Pseudo-narcissus. Leaves 

 3-4 in. long, ^ in. broad. Flower 1-1^ in. long ; tube obconic, 

 ^ in. long and broad ; segments sulphur-yellow, oblong, | in. long; 

 corona deeper yellow, with a deeply 6-lobed spreading throat. A. 

 piimilus Haw. is rather more robust, with perianth-segments cuneate 

 at the base. A, nauus Haw. is as robust as the type, with imbri- 

 cated perianth-segments longer than the corona, the throat of 

 which is less lobed and suberect. A. minimus Haw. (Bot. Mag. 

 t. 6 ; Burbidge, t. 5 b) is only 3-4 in. high, nutant before the flower 

 opens, with leaves ^ in. broad, and flower like that of the type, but 

 much smaller. 



Subsp. N. BicoLOR Linn. Sp. PI. 415. — Stature of Pseudo- 

 narcissus or major. Segments pure white, spreading, much imbri- 

 cated, 1-li^ in. long ; corona the same length, bright lemon-yellow, 

 with a spreading inciso-crenate crisped throat 1-1^ in. diam. 

 Varies in size from A. hrevijios Haw. (Bot. Mag. t. 1187) to 

 Horsfieldii and Emperor (Burbidge, t. 9a). Thirty forms have 

 garden names.
