March tlie London flower market is full of it. Native in some parts 

 of I. and IV., but usually a double-flowered, plant (? N. major, Ciirt.), 

 obviously from gardens. 



[N. incomparabilis, Miller. Cyb. Br. ii. 446; iii. 513. Syme E. B. ix. 

 1. 1502. JV. pallido-luieiis avglmis alter calice magno brevi aurco ; I found 

 this 1711 in some orchards and closes adjoining near Hornsey Chiirch ; 

 Budd. Herb, cxxiv. fol. 30. We are indebted to Mr. Boswell-Syme 

 for the detei-mination of Buddie's specimen. The plant was figured in 

 Pet. H. B. Cat. Ixvii. p. 8 as the ' Hornsey Daffodil,' and this figure 

 has been thought to represent various species, e.g. N. ampins, Salisb., 

 N. pallidus, St., N. Icetus, &c. This old garden flower has been found 

 semi-wild in many other places in England.] 



' N. serratus.' In a field near the public-house at Mill Hill, E. F. ; Herb. 

 Mus. Brit. Several exotic Narcissi in a field behind the King's Head, 

 Mill Hill ; Irv. Land. Fl. 304. The growth of these is explained by 

 the residence in the village for seven years of R. A. Salisbiu-y,* who 

 cultivated such plants extensively. He occupied the house formerly 

 Peter CoUinson's, and afterwards a school. (See Salisbury's Genera of 

 Plants; a Fragment: published in 1866.)
