Group II.— Medii-coronatse, the Peerless, Nonsuch, Mock-Narcissus, &c. 
CHARACTER . — Crown half as long as the divisions of the perianth, but in one or two cases three quarters as long . 
In this galaxy of beauty Parkinson calls the yellow Incomparabilis the Great Nonsuch Daffodil, and the white 
Incomparabilis the Peerless Daffodil ; the white variety has two double forms — one with the nectary or centre 
rich orange, and the other with a sulphur nectary. The flowers of both are as large as a rose, and planted in 
December or January, we have seen these two double varieties of Incomparabilis, in May, with blossoms as 
perfect in form as a Rosarian could desire for his favourite flower, the Rose. Odorus (Parkinson's Lesser 
Nonpareil Daffodil), which represents the larger forms of the graceful Jonquil, and are exceedingly valuable to 
cut for vases and table bouquets. The handsome Odorus plenus is Queen Anne’s double Jonquil. Macleai 
resembles a miniature Bicolor. Triandrus is unsurpassed for its elegant Cyclamen-like flowers; Juncifolius and 
Montanus are distinct and beautiful. Schizanthes orientalis and gracilis are beautiful late-flowering Daffodils. 
The New Daffodils of this group may thus be described : Incomparabilis differing from Parkinson’s Nonsuch 
and Peerless in the great diversity of size of flower and colouration of the crown. Leedsii is a beautiful hybrid, 
apparently of Montanus and Parkinson’s Peerless Daffodil. Nelsoni, is apparently a hybrid form of Bicolor. 
Barri is evidently a second cross, and apparently a hybrid of Incomparabilis and Poeticus, and is the connecting 
link between Incomparabilis and Burbidgei, which latter, viz., Burbidgei, is but one remove from Poeticus.
