I04 DAFFODILS — NARCISSUS 



white and sulphur cupped forms of Barrii and incom- 

 parabilis. 



D. N. monlanus; the drooping tilver-starred narcissus; 

 natural hybrid possibly of N. moschatus and A'^. poeti- 

 cus. Flower drooping; star-like perianth, pure white; 

 cup white. 



£. N. Maclaei; a natural hybrid probably between bi- 

 color Ajax and N. Tazetta, aptly described as "droop- 

 ing baby bicolor.'' Petals milk white, with bright 

 golden-yellow crown two-thirds as long as the petals. 



F N. Barrii; garden hybrids of various forms ; hybrids of 

 N. poeticus and an Ajax variety, while a cross of N. 

 poeticus and N. incomparabilis will yield flowers of 

 both Barrii and Burbidgei forms. Flowers usually 

 smaller than those of N. incomparabilis borne nearly 

 erect; cup always yellow and usually orange-reddish 

 rimmed, wide-mouthed and one-fourth to one-third the 

 length of the star-like yellow, or pale yellow petals. 



G. N. Bernardi; natural hybrid between N. abscissus (a 

 yellow Ajax variety) and A', poeticus; very variable; 

 flowers with spreading white petals, twice as long 

 as the yellow cup. 



GROUP VI. — THE poet's NARCISSUS
