N. Burbidgei. 
Very much reduced from natural size. 
Burbidgei, habit of Poeticus ; flowers horizontal, 
mostly white, with long slender tube, and 
usually with a shallow spreading cup, which 
is frequently stained on the iim more or less 
distinctly with orange-red ; they commence 
flowering before the earliest Poeticus, and the 
different varieties continue the succession to 
the latest Poeticus.

N. Poeticus Ornatus. 
Very much reduced from natural size. 
Poeticus divides naturally into early and late flowering 
varieties, a circumstance which is not generally 
known. It is from the early section, especially 
Poeticus ornatus, that Covent Garden is supplied 
with cut flowers of the Poet’s Narcissus from 
January to April.
