 crown, which is move manifestly trilobate, move crenulate, and 

 patent (B. M. 940, under name of A", orientate a.) 



N. T. pachybulbns (thick-bulbed). /. pure white, six to seven 

 lines across ; tube iin. long above the ovary, the segments of the 

 limb not more than iin. long, roundish, much imbricated, cuspi- 

 date ; crown not more than one line deep, sub-entire ; scape 

 under 1ft. high, compressed and ancipitous, five to eight- 

 flowered. 1. four or five to a scape, glaucescent, about iin.

N. T. Panizzianus (Panizzi's). /., when expanded, nine to

 closely allied to the variety papyraceus, but more slender, and 

 smaller in all its parts. (N. 36.) 



N. T. papyracens.* Paper- white Narcissus, fl. when ex- 

 panded ijin. to Uin. across ; tube greenish - white, eight to 

 nine lines long above the ovary ; divisions pure white, three

 equalling or shorter than the tube ; crown about one-third as long 

 as the divisions, at first a very pale yellow, finally becoming 

 nearly the same colour as the divisions, slightly plicate, the edge 

 sub-entire.

Fio. 651. NARCISSUS TRIANDRUS. 



N. triandrus (three-stamened).* fl. horizontal or cernuous, 

 measuring from nine to ten lines from the top of the ovary to the 

 top of the crown ; tube cylindrical, under half a line thick in 

 the lower half, pure white, like the reflexed divisions of the limb, 

 which just equal it in length, and are lanceolate, acute, one and 

 a-half to two lines broad at the base ; crown pure white, obconi- 

 cal, two and a-half to three lines deep, erecto-patent and entire

 long, three to four to a scape, under one line broad. Bulb not 

 more than Ain. thick. Spain. SYN. N. palUdulus. See Fig. 651. 

 (B. M. 6478"; N. 15.) The following are some of the better-known 

 varieties of this species : 



N. t. cernuns (drooping), fl. one or two, pale yellow ; crown 

 a rather deeper yellow ; both divisions and crown rather larger 

 than hi the type. SYN. N. triandrus. (B. M. 48.)

N. t. nntans (nodding), fl. two or three ; crown a deeper yellow 

 than the divisions, crenulate. SYN. N. trilobus. (B. M. 945.) 



N. t. pulchellus (pretty), fl. three to four ; corona white ; 

 divisions bright yellow. SYNS. N. t. luteus (B. M. 1262) and

 fistulose, about 1ft. long. Bulb small, globose. Spain, 1629. 



Garden Varieties. Very few of the numerous varieties 

 of Narcissus may be considered unworthy of cultivation. 

 Many of the Narcissi may be employed for naturalising, 

 and for shrubbery border decoration, when they can be 

 procured in quantity at a cheap rate. Subjoined is a 

 list of the best varieties, selected from the different 

 groups and divisions that have been arranged. We are 

 indebted to Mr. Peter Barr for the illustrations here 

 given, as well as for several of those used in the species.
