Ait the varieties have yeiiow or white perianth 
and yeiiow or red-stained cups. 
For a long time trouble was being experienced in the 
placing of certain new seedlings under the Barrii and Bur- 
bidgei sections, as the two divisions ran so much into one 
another. The revising committee therefore decided to make 
only one section of them, retaining the name Barrii. 
The chaste beauty of those shorter -cupped Narcissi is 
the more highly appreciated when the cut flowers are seen 
arranged in vases. The brilliancy of colouring in the cups 
of some, and the dainty elegance of others, render them all 
more or loss valuable exhibition flowers. The cheaper kinds 
WO can strongly recommend for bods and borders, and for 
naturalising in grass, woodlands, wild gardens, etc.
