NOMENCLATURE CLASSIFICATION IOy 



shaped, relatively small and generally yellow but 

 white in some forms; popularly known as the polyan- 

 thus narcissus. 



B. & C., N. orientalis: N. intermedius. These form a 

 sub-section and which might be called "intermediate! 

 cluster-flowered" narcissus. They are all natural 

 hybrids and so closely resemble the true Tazettas thav 

 it is very difficult to separate them. More hardy, and 

 the leaves of the N. intermedius group are more rush-* 

 like than those of the true Tazettas. N. orientalis is 

 supposed to be a hybrid between N. Tazetta and N. 

 incomparabilis. Flat leaves. 



GROUP IX. HARDY CLUSTER-FLOWERED 



NARCISSUS 



This group is likely to grow into consider- 

 able importance through the acquisition of the 

 new hybrids between N. poeticus and N. 

 Tazetta. 



A. N. poetaz; cluster-flowered hybrids of N. poeticus and 



N. Tazetta, having individual flower characters very 

 closely resembling the former one in colour and size. 

 A most remarkable recent acquisition in the family. 



B. N. tridymus; the long-crowned, cluster-flowered daffo- 



dils; hybrids between Ajax and N. Tazetta; individ- 

 ual flowers resemble a small form of Nelsoni. They 

 differ from all other cluster-flowered narcissus in the 

 comparatively long crown.
