MEDIO-CORONATI 23 



anth segments sulphur-yellow, imbricated, spread- 

 ing horizontally, and about one to one and a quarter 

 inches long ; corona, lemon-yellow, nearly equals 

 the segments in length. 



Several named forms are in cultivation. 



I o) TRIDTMUS. (Pseudo-Narcissus X Tazetta). 

 Two to three flowered, the flowers being in shape 

 somewhat like those of Nelsoni, but smaller. 



There are several named forms (most 

 of them yellow) in cultivation. 



(11) HUMEL Garden hybrid raised by Dr 

 Leeds of Manchester, said to be between Pseudo- 

 Narcissus and Montanus. One flowered. Sulphur- 

 yellow segments about one and a half inches long, 

 loosely ascending ; corona, lemon-yellow, about an 

 inch long. The flower has a deformed, clipt-ofF 

 appearance. 



Concolor, with umbrella-like lemon peri- 

 anth segments, and straight well-formed 

 cup of rather darker shade. The only 

 form worth growing. 



Var. Albidus. Small form with milk- 

 white segments and lemon-yellow crown. 

 A deformed flower. 



(12) LEEDS I L Garden hybrid raised by Dr 

 Leeds. One flowered. Flowers slightly drooping. 

 Spreading perianth segments, milk-white, about 

 one to one and a quarter inches long ; cup-shaped 

 corona of very pale yellow, about half an inch long. 

 In most of the forms of the Leedsii group the cup 

 passes off white. The leaves of many of the forms 

 are twisted. 



The Leedsii varieties are the result of crossing 

 the delicate White Ajax varieties with Poeticus, and 

 to many of them the Poeticus blood gives consider- 

 able robustness of constitution.
