DIV. V— TRIANDRUS and TRIANDRUS HYBRIDS. 
Triandrus and all hybrids obviously containing- Triandrus blood, such as Queen of Spain 
(a wild Triandrus Hybrid), Agnes Harvey, Bennett-Poe, Earl Grey, etc. 
The introduction of Triandrus blood in hybridising has resulted in such a very distinct group of 
hybrids that the Classification Committee of the R.H.S. deemed it advisable to make one section of them. 
For grace and beauty they are unsurpassed. We recommend them being given a situation partly shaded 
by trees, and if a little very fine dwarf grass seed is sown amongst them, the beauty of their flowers is 
enhanced. Once planted they may remain undisturbed for years. 
TRIANDRUS, The Cyclamen-flowered Daffodils with reflexing perianth. 
The dainty little “Angel’s Tears ” Daffodil ( Triandrus albtts) was found by the late 
Mr. Peter Barr on the mountains of Portugal and Spain, growing in very hard, firm, fine gritty 
soil, sometimes in the narrowest fissures of granite and slatestone rocks. All in this section make 
lovely little pot plants, and grown thus should be given cold frame culture. Established on rock- 
work they form a picture full of grace and beauty. They prefer shade , a gritty soil, and a well- 
drained position. 
^Triandrus albUS (3), an exquisitely beautiful little flower, appropriately called 
the “Angel’s Tears” Daffodil, having a creamy white little globular cup and perianth 
of same colour very much reflexing, ht. 7 in. As we have to depend upon collected bulbs 
for our annual supply, and these have to be taken up while the foliage is still green, a 
proportion may possibly not bloom the first season. The bulbs should therefore be left 
undisturbed to establish themselves per 1000, 60/- ; per 100, 6/6

jTriandrus calathinus (3). One of the most beautiful little Daffodils in 
existence. The flowers, which are snowy white, are more than twice the size of 
Triandrus albtts , with long goblet-shaped crown prettily fluted, and are borne two 
to three on a stem ; the foliage has a curious twisted habit, ht. 7 in. For pot culture 
and rockwork it is a perfect gem. The late Mr. Peter Barr collected this rare 
Daffodil some years ago on one of the Glenan Isles, the collecting being attended 
with a good deal of risk. Unfortunately it is no longer to be found there, the sea 
having washed away all trace of it, and this beautiful little Daffodil is becoming scarcer
