any note. I have seen it in Dr. Milne r's garden at Leeds, at 

 North Bierly, Londes borough, Badmington, the Oxford gar- 

 den, and Mr. Peter Collinson's, Mill Hill. It should be 

 planted in very deep moist loam, for in dry soils the flowers 

 are generally small, imperfect, and torn.

This species flowered in the garden of Mr. Maddock, 

 florist, at Walworth, about twenty years ago, who imported it 

 from Holland ; he had only a single root, which he would 

 not part with at any price, and soon lost it, most probably 

 owing to the rich composition of his borders. It grows wild 

 in the Isles de Glenans, near Cape Finisterre ; so we may 

 hope, that notwithstanding the war, it may reach this 

 country again.

I cannot quote Narcissus triandrus of Linnjeus, taken up 

 by him only from Clusius, as a synonym of this species, 

 because both Clusius and Parkinson desribe the leaves 

 of their plant green, and its flowers snow-white, charac- 

 ters of primary importance in this Natural Order : if they 

 really are the same plant, which some future botanist who 

 searches the mountains of Galicia must determine, Clusius 

 has been less accurate than usual, and Parkinson has not 

 only copied, but augmented that great botanist's blunder. It 

 wasintroduced by Edward Whitaker Gray,M. D. in 1777, 

 from Oporto, where it grows wild, and will endure the open air
