Io6 DAFFODILS NARCISSUS 



Stocks are mixed and nomenclature becomes 

 confused. 



A. N. Jonquilla; true sweet-scented jonquil; petals three 



to four times as long as the saucer-shaped shallow 

 crown ; though usually regarded as a species, has 

 sometimes been supposed to be a hybrid between N. 

 Tazetta and N. gracilis; very variable. 



B. N. odorus; Carapernelle or giant jonquil ; considered to 



be a hybrid between yellow Ajax and N. Jonquilla; 

 larger than the preceding, wider petals and more up- 

 right cup, more widely flared. 



C. N. gracilis; later flowering than the jonquil, opening 



yellow and fading with age. Petals spreading and 

 imbricated. One to three flowered. 



D. N. juncifolius; "baby jonquil"; the very smallest 



species, generally bearing three bright yellow flowers, 

 petals well imbricated, about twice as long as the cup 

 which is often widely expanded; very variable; petals 

 about one-third of an inch long. 



GROUP VIII. THE TENDER, CLUSTER-FLOW- 

 ERED NARCISSUS 



Including all the cluster-flowered, flat- 

 leaved species which are not reliably hardy in 

 the North, but which may be grown outdoors 

 in the South and are excellent for forcing. 



A. N. Tazetta; remarkably variable; usually four to eight 

 flowers; perianth segments white or yellow, well im- 

 bricated and spreading horizontally ; crown cup-
