14 THE BOOK OF THE DAFFODIL 



N. Johnstoni was originally described ( Amaryllide^, 

 1888) as a Portuguese form of Pseudo-Narcissus. 

 But Mr Baker has now no doubt of its being 

 from Pseudo-Narcissus X Triandrus [see Medio- 

 coRONATi, in chapter iv.] ; and as it is of a very 

 distinct and typical form, I venture to place it in a 

 group to itself as a typical hybrid, and to range the

 and Triandrus under this head as " Johnstoni." 



Several of the varieties of Pseudo-Narcissus have 

 double forms. 



The recognised type flower of Pseudo-Narcissus 

 is the wild Daffodil of England. Trumpet yellow ; 

 perianth segments pale sulphur. (White varieties 

 of this are found here and there in Oxfordshire and 

 Dorsetshire.) 



There is a double form — 



Gerard's Double Daffodil.— {N. Ps.-N. 

 plenus.^ 



Other forms are — 



Scoticus (the Scotch form), with a double 

 form, Scoticus plenus. 



Nobilis, with both segments and mouth 

 of trumpet more spreading. 



Lobularis (between the type and Major) 

 with {its supposed) double forms, Lobularis 

 plenus and Grandiplenus. 



Cambricus. — Sulphur - white perianth ; 

 yellow trumpet (between the type and 

 Major). 



Pallidus pracox. — A pale sulphur- 

 coloured, early-flowering form from S. 

 France (Pyrenean district). 



Rugilobus. — Large primrose perianth ; 

 large yellow trumpet. 



Variiformis. — Pyrenean form between
