GROUP II.-MEDII-CORONATI OF BAKER. 
Gueltia, Philogyne, etc., of Haworth ; Peerless, Nonsuch, Chalice-Shaped Crown, etc., 
of Parkinson. 
Distinguishing Character — Crown or cup half as long as the divisions of the perianth, but in one or 
two cases three-quarters as long. 
It is pretty generally accepted that the varieties in this group are hybrids (excepting, perhaps, Ganymedes, 
Odorus, and 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 Mr. Baker 
between a Tazetta and a Trumpet Daffodil. Although we have no positive data as to the parentage of the new 
hybrids described in this group, 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 and Incomparabilis would 
give Barrii, which may be generally described as smaller forms of Incomparabilis ; Poeticus and Cernuus, or 
Albicans, gave the varieties of Leedsii, “ the Eucharis-like Daffodil," which has the perianth white, and the 
crown white, or primrose, changing to white. Poeticus, or perhaps Tazetta, and Bicolor would give Nelsoni 
and Tridymus, &c. 
The varieties in this group commence flowering in March, and furnish a succession till May. They are 
all of great beauty, and as cut flowers are extensively used for furnishing vases and table bouquets.
