Pseudo - Narcissus, 



A Matmcorovati or Large-Crowned speeies: corona 

 I ng ab the se(fnients, or even loader, trumpet- 

 hhaped oi cylindrica I . — DAFFODihS. (Forms of No. 

 3 may be sought here. ) 



B. Lvs. green, few (often only l),vertf slender and 

 nearly terete, channelled'. 



1. Bulbocddium, Linn. Hoop-Petticoat Daffodil. 

 A slender plant, with bulb 1 in. or less in diam., and 

 the very slender Ivs. (usually 3 or 4 to each stem) 

 mostly overtopping the blossoms : fl. 1, ascending or 

 horizontal (not declined), 1% or \% in. long in most 

 forms, normally bright yellow in all parts, the very 

 prominent thin corona entire or crenulate ; stamens 

 inserted near the base of the tube, declined, rather 

 long. !?. France to Morocco. B.M. 88. — Runs into many 

 garden forms and hybrids. Fls. usually borne 15-8 in. 

 above the ground. 



Var. monoph^llus, Baker {X. monophylhis, Moore. 

 jV. Vliisii, Dunal). An Algerian form, now in cult., 

 usually with 1 If., and fl. sessile and white: corona cre- 

 nate. B.M. 5831. 



Var. citrlnns. B.aker. Fls. large, pale lemon-yellow, 

 the corona crenulate. 



BB. Lvs. glaucous, several, flat. 



2. Pseiido- Narcissus, Linn. Common Daffodil. 

 Trumpet Daffodil. Lent Lily. Fig. 14!)8. Strong 

 plant, 12-18 in. tall, with bulb 1^2-2 in. in diam.: lvs. 

 narrow but flat, erect, usually about reaching the blos- 

 soms: fl. about 2 in. long, horizontal or ascending, pale 

 yellow, the segments and corona usually of different 

 shades, the corona deeply crenate or almost crenate- 

 fimbriate, more or less plicate; stamens inserted near 

 the base of the perianth, short. From Sweden and Eng- 

 land to Spain and Austi-ia.- Exceedingly variable in 

 size, shape and coloring of fls. There are full double 

 forms (Common Daffodil) in which the corona disap- 

 pears as a separate body, and supernumerary segments 

 are present. It is one of the hardiest and commonest of 

 Narcissi. 



This species is the Trumpet Narcissus, so named 

 from the long corona. The normal forms are Yellow 

 Trumpets, but the Bicolor Trumpet, var. bicolor, Hort. 

 (iV. bicolor, Linn.), has pure white segments and yel- 

 low corona. To this varietv Baker refers If. brfviflos, 

 Haw. (B.M. 1187), and Iv. Horsfieldii, Burb. The 

 White Trumpets are var. moschatus, Hort. {N. mos- 

 chi^tus. Linn.; B.M. 1300), which has cream-white or 

 white flowers.
