NOMENCLATURE CLASSIFICATION IOI 



A. Yellow Ajax; self yellow varieties derived from 

 wild flowers of yellow N. Pseudo-Narcissus. 



B. White Ajax; white petals and white or sulphur trum- 

 pets; descendants from N. moschatus and the Pyrenean 

 form, N. pallidus praecox, both of which are marked 

 sub-species of N. Pseudo-Narcissus. 



C. Bicolor Ajax; yellow trumpets and white petals; hy- 

 brids of the two preceding groups. 



GROUP II. THE LESSER TRUMPETS 



Here are included two sections, Backhouse! 

 and Humei, both of which, botanically con- 

 sidered, belong with the trumpet daffodils, 

 but for garden purposes are separated from 

 the Ajax group, partly on account of size as 

 they are both comparatively smaller. 



A r . Backhousei, hybrid of Ajax and JV. incomparabilis. The 

 trumpet often is as large as the petals and the crown 

 itself often unflared, giving it a tubular appearance. 

 There is considerable difficulty in the exact placing of 

 this section, it being sometimes considered among 

 large trumpet daffodils and at other times as belonging 

 to the intermediate, or medium-crowned group which 

 is composed entirely of hybrid forms between the first 

 and third of Baker's classification. 



A T . Humei and its varieties ("Dog-Eared Daffodils") are 

 garden hybrids between N. Pseudo-Narcissus and N. 

 incomparabilis, flower drooping and petals inclined 

 forward. In other respects the flowers of this section 

 agree with Group I.
