102 DAFFODILS — NARCISSUS 



GROUP III. — THE HOOP-PETTICOAT DAFFO- 

 DILS 



A very distinct group, with conspicuous,

 deflexed, which does not occur in any other 

 group ; leaves rush-like. 



All varieties of JV. Bulbocodium (sometimes spoken of as 

 A''. Corbularia). 



GROUP IV. — CYCLAMEN-FLOWERED DAFFO- 

 DILS 



This is an artificial group, but is well 

 marked from the horticultural standpoint, be-

 comprise this group are reflexed. All have 

 comparatively large trumpets. 



A. N. cyclamineus; the yellow cyclamen-flowered daf-

 petals and trumpet form one continuous line ; leaves 

 flat. 



B. N. Johnstonl; Johnston's cyclamen-flowered daffodils. 



Wild hybrids between an Ajax variety and the follow- 

 ing, N. triandrus. The flowers of this group are 

 similar to those of the large trumpet varieties with
