 2. N. poeticus

 Bush-leaved . .15. N. Jonquilla and N. juncifolius 

 I G. N. triandrus 



All these are known to exist as plants indubitably wild in 

 Europe, and they all vary more or less widely as collected from 

 different localities. 



All come true from seed if fertilised with pollen of another 

 individual of the same species, and they hybridise so freely with 

 each other, that given these six wild species alone in sufficient 

 quantity and variety, and from them the hybridist and culti- 

 vator could stock our gardens with every garden variety of 

 Narcissus now known and worth growing. There can, I think, 

 be no doubt whatever that the following kinds are hybrids, viz. ; 



/ 1. N. incomparabilis 



2. N. montanus 

 Flat-leaved Hybrids \ 3. N. Macleayi 



4. N. Sabini (=Backhousei) 

 V 5. N. (Schizanthes) orientalis 



( 1. N. odorus 

 Bush-leaved Hybrids \ 2. N. intermedius 



1 3. N. gracilis (& its var. " tenuior ")
