Somewhat similar are Odorus Calathinus 

 and Interjectus. 

 Var. Minor. — Dwarf variety, with much 

 smaller crown than any other form. 



Var. LcETus (Trilobus). — Flowers smaller 

 than Campernelli. Segments half as long again 

 as the corona, which is much lobed. 



Heminalis, a very distinct form, with 

 long cup of darker yellow than the seg- 

 ments. 

 (4) INCOMPARABILIS. Wild over a con- 

 siderable range from Spain and S.W. France to the 

 Tyrol. — Very ancient hybrid (Pseudo - Narcissus X 

 Poeticus) once reckoned as a species. But Dean 

 Herbert raised a plant indistinguishable from it 

 from the wild Yorkshire Pseudo-Narcissus x Poeticus, 

 and many similar proofs have since been given. 

 Leaves bluish - green ; one flowered. Expanded 

 flower, pale yellow in the type. Perianth segments 

 spreading, slightly imbricated, about one and one- 

 eighth inch long, being about twice as long as the 

 crown. 



The garden forms are very many and 

 very various. 



Concolor, segments and corona pale 

 lemon - yellow. Of this class there are 

 several fine garden varieties. 



Semi-partitus differs from Concolor in the 

 very deep lobing of its cup. 



Albus plenus sulphureus (" Sulphur 



Phoenix," or " Codlins and Cream") is 



the supposed double form of Bemi- 



partitus. 



Var. AuRANTius. — Perianth pale yellow ; 



corona, yellow orange-stained. 



Aurantius plenus (" Golden Phoenix,"
