CHALICE-SHAPED CROWN. 
Group II. — Medii-coronatse of Baker, Queltla, Philogyne, etc., of Haworth, Peerless, Nonsuch, etc., 
of Parkinson. 
Distinguishing Character. — Crown half as long as the divisions of the perianth, but in one or two cases 
three-quarters as long . 
It is pretty generally supposed that the varieties in this group are hybrids (excepting, perhaps, Juncifolius). 
It is true, Incomparabilis is found wild in France and Spain, but Dean Herbert and others have produced it by 
crossing Poeticus with a Trumpet Daffodil. Macleai is considered by Baker between a Tazetta and a Trumpet 
Daffodil. The new hybrids described in this group, although we have no positive data as to their parentage, we 
think it may fairly be assumed that Poeticus and the Trumpet Daffodils gave all the varieties of Incomparabilis, 
.these have always the crown yellow ; Poeticus or Montanus, with Cemuus or Albicans, gave the varieties of 
Vincenti, which have the perianth white, or sulphur-white, and the crown always canary-yellow. The same 
cross would give Lccdsi “ the Eucharis-like Daffodil,” which has the perianth white, and the crown white, or 
primrose, changing to white. Poeticus and Bicolor would give Nelsoni. Poeticus and Incomparabilis would 
give Barri, which maybe considered a small Incomparabilis. 
The varieties in this group commence flowering in March and furnish a succession till May.
