IO2 DAFFODILS NARCISSUS 



GROUP III. THE HOOP-PETTICOAT DAFFO- 

 DILS 



A very distinct group, with conspicuous, 

 wide-flaring trumpets and insignificant petals 

 but the same colour as the trumpet; stamens 

 deflexed, which does not occur in any other 

 group; leaves rush-like. 



All varieties of N. Bulbocodium (sometime* spoken of as 

 N. Corbularia). 



GROUP IV. CYCLAMEN-FLOWERED DAFFO- 

 DILS 



This is an artificial group, but is well 

 marked from the horticultural standpoint, be- 

 cause the petals in the three sections which 

 comprise this group are reflexed. All have 

 comparatively large trumpets. 



A. N. cyclamineus\ the yellow cyclamen-flowered daf- 

 fodil (sometimes considered to be a sub-species of 

 yellow Ajax). Sharply reflexed petals, so that the 

 petals and trumpet form one continuous line; leaves 

 flat. 



B. N. Johnstoni; Johnston's cyclamen-flowered daffodils. 



Wild hybrids between an Ajax variety and the follow- 

 ing, N. triandrus. The flowers of this group are 

 similar to those of the large trumpet varieties with
