MAGNI-CORONATI 17 



Albicans (called by the Dutch " Mos- 

 chatus"). — Larger flower, with more 

 imbricated perianth segments. 



Cernuus. — Perianth segments equal to 

 and sometimes longer than trumpet. 

 Medium size. More drooping and more 

 squarely-built flower. It has two beauti- 

 ful double forms — Cernuus plenus and 

 Cernuus plenus bicinctus. 



Tortuosus{" Leda," " Sarnian Belle ").— 



Perianth segments twisted, and shorter 



than trumpet. 



(3) N. JOHNSTONI. A typical hybrid. 



Found wild in Portugal. (Pseudo-Narcissus X 



Triandrus.') Slightly variable in form. In colour 



from soft sulphur to pale lemon. Long, straight, 



funnel-shaped corona ; perianth segments somewhat 



reflexed. Is best grown in grass or cold frames. 



The best of the wild forms of this 

 group are those which pass under the 

 names — Johnstoni type, " Queen of Spain " 

 and " Mrs George Cammell." 



A number of beautiful garden hybrid 

 Johnstoni' s will be found among the Certi- 

 ficated Varieties enumerated in chap, 

 xiii. 

 N. Triandrus [chap, iv.] also hybridises 

 naturally with N. Bulbocodium (Corbularia). 

 Note. — A wild form between N. Bulbocodium and 

 Pseudo-Narcissus was found by Messrs Tait and Barr 

 in 1887, near Oporto.
