 cis corona subaurantiaca cupulari erecta, sen subcam- 

 panulata trifida, (lobis bifidis,) 2— 3-plo longioribus, 

 Ibliis loratis 9 lineas latis planioribus obtusis glaucis.

 brevitubatus. Narcissus. (The short-tubed small-crown): co- 

 roUae laciniis niveis prasimbricatis ovatis logitudinaliler 

 subplicatulis tubo subduplo longioribus, corona erecta 

 parva intense lutea croceo tenuissime cincta. 



0^5. CoroUce laciniae basi ad oras demum reflexas,

Obs. This description was made from a single living 

 specimen, without leaves, which was grown in Mrs. 

 Harriot's rich garden on Wimbledon Common, and 

 given to me, at the end of April 1832, by my friend 

 Mr. E. D. Smith, the able artist of Sweet's Brii. Fl. 

 Garden. The characters above given are very strong, 

 and sufficient, if constant; but may they not have 

 arisen from some imperfect state of cultivation, or un- 

 timely transplantation of the root, or from being kept 

 too long out of the ground? It seems to be a dwarf 

 species close to N. angustifolius of Bat. Mag. t. 1 93. 



Obs. ulteriores. — N. angustifolio affinis, sed minor, 

 et differt scapo compresso ancipiti striato crassiore 

 dodrantali, et forsan pallidiore: corollce laciniis latiori- 

 bus minus stellantibus ; corona minore, erecta, nee 

 patula vel patellari, et potissimum tubo laciniis duplo 

 breviore, nee lacinias ^quante; ovario fere oblongo 

 nee ovali, ut in N. angustifolio. Fortasse est Nar- 

 cissus odorus circulo rubello, 'Rudb. Elys. t. 44. cum 

 ico7ie. 



Genus Philogvne. 



Obs. Much yet remains to be cleared up in this 

 genus. — Philog. Campertielli was described in Na7'ciss. 

 Monog. from imported roots, and had flowers lower 

 than the leaves. Others exactly similar, but from Bury 

 Botanic Garden, and kept in the ground all the year, 

 had florigerous scapes higher than the leaves at the 

 time of flowering; so the difference of relative altitude 

 is thus accounted for : but the leaves in P. Campcrnelli 

 were much paler, especially at the base, than those of 

 /-•. odorus, and the flowers had little or no scent. 1 had 

 only one sjjecimen of /^ odorus to compare with many 

 oi P.Cainpcrnclli, in the blooming season of the present 

 year.
