14 THE BOOK OF THE DAFFODIL 



N. Johnstoni was originally described ( AMARYLLIDEJE, 

 1888) as a Portuguese form of Pseudo-Narcissus. 

 But Mr Baker has now no doubt of its being 

 from Pseudo-Narcissus x Triandrus [see MEDIO- 

 CORONATI, in chapter iv.] ; and as it is of a very 

 distinct and typical form, I venture to place it in a 

 group to itself as a typical hybrid, and to range the 

 various garden hybrids between Pseudo-Narcissus 

 and Triandrus under this head as " JOHNSTONI." 



Several of the varieties of Pseudo-Narcissus have 

 double forms. 



The recognised type flower of Pseudo-Narcissus 

 is the wild Daffodil of England. Trumpet yellow ; 

 perianth segments pale sulphur. (White varieties 

 of this are found here and there in Oxfordshire and 

 Dorsetshire.) 



There is a double form 



Gerard's' Double Da/odil.(N. Ps.-N. 

 plenus.) 



Other forms are - 

 Scoticus (the Scotch form), with a double 

 form, Scoticus plenus. 



Nobilis, with both segments and mouth 

 of trumpet more spreading. 



Lobularis (between the type and Major) 

 with (its supposed) double forms, Lobularis 

 plenus and Grandiplenus. 



Cambricus. Sulphur - white perianth ; 

 yellow trumpet (between the type and 

 Major). 



Pallidus " prxcox. A pale sulphur- 

 coloured, early-flowering form from S. 

 France (Pyrenean district). 



Rugilobus. Large primrose perianth ; 

 large yellow trumpet. 



Variiformis. Pyrenean form between
