132 Mr. Haworth's Results of an extensive Re-examination 



Obs. I have never seen this plant in a single state 

 (for it must be distinct from the two preceding species), 

 but a root of a very beautiful double-flowering variety 

 of it, from my friend the Rev. Mr. Ellicombe of Bit- 

 ton Vicarage, near Bath, bloomed finely with me last 

 March. 



bicolor. A. (The broad-leaved.) Ajax bicolor Salisb. in Hort. 



5. Trans. 1. p. 346, et Nob. in Narciss. Revis. 119. 



Obs. This is the true Narcissus bicolor of Linnaeus, 

 as appears by the specimen yet well preserved in his 

 Herbarium, but the leaf is not that of a flowering bulb, 

 but rather of a younger part of the plant. My own 

 Narciss. bicolor Linn. Trans, v. 5. p. 244, and of 

 Bot. Mag. t. 1187, became Ajax larifolius in my Nar- 

 ciss. Revis. p. 119, in the year 1819. 



Genus, Queltia Nob. in Narciss. Revis. p. 121. 



capax. Q. (The straw-coloured.) Narcissus calathinus Redout. 



6. Lil. t. 177, nee aliorum. 



Obs. I have not seen this plant in a single state, but 

 possess a beautiful double-flowering variety of it, from 

 my friend the Rev. W. T. Bree, of Allesley, near 

 Coventry; which is both well figured and well de- 

 scribed in Parkinson's famous Paradisus Terrestris, 

 t. 107. f. 4 ; and, until the present season, was one of 

 the missing or lost hardy bulbous beauties of that 

 faithful writer, and of the parterres of our forefathers 

 two hundred years ago. 



Obs. In this place it is convenient to remark that 

 Philogyne minor of my Narciss. Revis. p. 137, was pro- 

 bably only a small plant of Philog. heminalis of Salisb., 

 and that the plant well known by the name of Queen 

 Anne's Jonquil, is doubtless a double variety of a plant 

 more recently figured in the Botanical Register, t. 816, 

 by the name of Narc. gracilis, and which appears to be 

 the Narcissus juncifolius luteus albicantibus lineis di- 

 siinctus, of Park. Par ad. p. 94. No. 10, but which, till 

 lately re-introduced, appears to have been long miss- 

 ing in our gardens. 



It may be added, that the very intelligent foreman 

 of Mr. Young's Nursery at Epsom, pointed out to me 

 in April last, a lesser but also double variety of Queen 

 Anne's Jonquil, which before I had not seen.- — For a 

 list of the lost hardy bulbs of Parkinson's days, see my 

 Notice in the Gardener's Magazine for July 1830.
