(3) N. JOHNSTONI. A typical hybrid. 

 Found wild in Portugal. (Pseudo- Narcissus x 

 Triandrus.) Slightly variable in form. In colour 

 from soft sulphur to pale lemon. Long, straight, 

 funnel-shaped corona ; perianth segments somewhat 

 reflexed. Is best grown in grass or cold frames. 



The best of the wild forms of this 

 group are those which pass under the 

 names Johnstoni type, " Queen of Spain " 

 and " Mrs George Cammell." 



A number of beautiful garden hybrid 

 Johnstoni s will be found among the CERTI- 

 FICATED VARIETIES enumerated in chap, 

 xiii. 



N. Triandrus [chap, iv.] also hybridises 

 naturally with N. Bulbocodium (Corbularia). 

 NOTE. A wild form between N. Bulbocodium and 

 Pseudo-Narcissus was found by Messrs Tait and Barr 

 in 1887, near Oporto.
