British Gotinists About the middle of Marci 1903, Miss Spettigue, 
of Porthpean, sent me two or three flowers of a strange narcissus, 
mane she reported as plentiful ina damp meadow. At the time I 
named it .\V. incomparabilis Miller, but Mr. Spencer H. Bickham 
sought expert opinion on fresh specimens which I had forwarded

fortnight ae the arrival of Miss Spettigue’s specimens I paid a 
visit to where they were gathered, and, althou gh sébocidicidved 
had taken away most of the flowers, I saw several hounds of plants.

by the Sticker road from London Apprentice. A deep ditch an 
the remains of an old hedge-bank occupy the lower portion of the 
field. Two-thirds of the field was dotted with the narcissus, but 
the greatest number of Lae were —. in and near the ditch.

stocked with bulbs taken from the field, ind th during recent
