30 THE BOOK OF THE DAFFODIL 



Biflorus Alius has segments of snowy-white 

 and the corona tinged with red. 



(9) N. ORIENTALIS. Probably a hybrid be- 

 tween Incomparabilis and Tazetta. Flat-leaved ; three 

 to four flowered; the spreading segments of sulphur- 

 yellow three times as long as the orange-yellow 

 cup-shaped corona. 



(10) N. INTERMEDIUS. A hybrid supposed 

 to be between some form of Tazetta and Jonquilla. 

 Found in Spain, Balearic Isles and S. of France ; 

 abundant on the hills near Bayonne and the Landes 

 of Dax. Differs from the yellow-flowered Tazettas 

 by its sub-cylindrical deep-green leaves ; is many- 

 flowered ; cup about one-fourth or fifth the length 

 of the perianth segments ; the whole flower being 

 of a soft yellow colour. 



Intermedins Bifrons has narrower peri- 

 anth segments and a deeper corona. A 

 very beautiful garden form of this with 

 orange-scarlet cup is Bifrons "Sunset." 

 Other forms are Bkrenatus and Primulinus 

 and Radiatus. 



(11) N. GRACILIS. An old garden plant, said 

 to have been found wild near Bordeaux, but not 

 generally met with in a wild state. Supposed to 

 be Jonquilla X Tazetta, or (by some) Juncifolius X 

 Tazetta. Rush-leaved ; one to three flowered. 

 Full yellow flower, changing to pale sulphur ; 

 perianth segments spreading and imbricated ; very 

 late in flower. 



Tenuior (the " Silver Jonquil "), a much 

 paler form, and more slender in all its 

 parts. 



(1 2) i\r. BURBIDGEI. This group name "covers 

 a series of forms between Incomparabilis and Poeticus 

 in which the characters of the latter predominate "
