A fhort Defcription will ferve fie he confpicuous 
Flower ; for with all. its Pride, of Size and Sin- 
gularity, it is no more than a Variety rais’d by 
artful Culture from the fame Stock with the Gold- 
cup’d Narciffus nam’d before. . 
_ Authors, whom the Singularity of its Appear- 
ance has induced to rank it as a diftinét Species, 
have call’d it Narciffus flore maximo flavo. . 
the Petals, and lacerated Edge of the Nectarium, 
if a Variety deferv’d a diftinét Appellation. 
The Student knows this is not the Courfe of | 
Science ; and we have told him that he is to re- 
fer it to the Narciffus foliis enfiformibus florum nec- 
tario longitudine petalorum : Sword-leav’d Narciffus, 
with the Nectarium equal to the Petals. In this 
Variety indeed luxuriant Culture brings it con- 
_ fiderably to exceed that Length. 
The Root is a large Bulb; and from its Bafe 
fends ‘many long thick Fibres. 
The Leaves are long, narrow, flat, and of a 
pale greyifh green, pointed and edged.

fix Petals, furrounding a vaft Nectarium. | 
_ The Colour is throughout a ftrong yellow; 
and, when the Flower is perfect, there is in it a, 
Tinge of Orange. The Neétarium is deeper 
than the Petals in Colour ; and in its varioufly torn

its Culture ‘in any thing’ different, except that it 
requires a mellow’d Soil, enrich’d with rotted 
Dung ; and about the Time of its F lowering me 
wants more Water.

great Eafe. For thofe of more Curiofity, it ri-
