Adrian Hardy Haworth, Esq., identified about 
one hundred and fifty species of Narcissus, which 
he divided into sixteen new genera, founded on 
differences in the stmcture of their flower or fruit. 
His attentions to the subject, for nearly half a cen 
tury, entitle his labours to respect. The genus 
Corbularia is one of his adoption, the name being 
derived from corbula, a little basket, in allusion to 
the crown or nectary of the flower. 
Parkinson, in his time, discussed the subject of 
classification, but somewhat differently from mo- 
dern botanists. He, in fact, made of them two 
divisions — the Narcissus and Pseudo-narcissus; 
or those with “long noses” and those with short. 
See his Paradisus Terrestris, published in 1629, 
folio, page 67. 
Corbularia lobulata is a pretty but small species; 
far less showy than the commoner kinds. We 
received it from Mr. Cameron of the Birmingham 
Horticultural Society’s garden, under the above 
name, but w'e have doubts w'hether it is the plant 
intended by Mr. Haworth as lobulata. It requires 
no particular care.
