groups, called respectively, (a) Magni-coronati or large trumpet; 

 (b) Medii-coronati or cup daffodil; (V) Parvi-coronati or saucer daffo- 

 dil. The varieties of groups a and b are commonly known as daffodils, 

 while those of group c are commonly known as narcissus, including 

 of course the poet s and polyanthus groups. Group b, the Incompar- 

 abilis section, is composed essentially, and perhaps entirely, of 

 hybrids between different species and varieties of groups a and r, 

 and embraces every degree of difference between the two extremes. 

 The large trumpet daffodils are varieties of N. Pseudo-Narcissus. 

 The polyanthus narcissi (including the Paper White, Double 

 Roman, etc.) are varieties of N. Tazetta. The Poet s Narcissus 

 includes all the varieties of the species N. poeticus; the jonquil is a 

 species known as N. Jonquilla, and differs from the recognised 

 daffodils in having cluster flowers, and from the polyanthus narcissus 

 in having rushlike leaves instead of flat; it is very fragrant and the 

 flowers are of a very deep yellow colour. Selected varieties in each 

 section or group follows:
