220 DAFFODILS NARCISSUS 



may be sought below in either the large - or 

 medium-crowned sections. 



The new section, N. Englehearti, has not 

 yet been described with sufficient precision to 

 enable us to insert it in the key. It is closely 

 allied to N. Burbidgei, and indeed some of 

 the varieties of the new section were formerly 

 included in Burbidgei. The crown is short, 

 spreading and much fluted.

 as long as the petals (here might be sought No. 9) or
