6. Striatulus. — Haw. According to Haworth, style 
exceeding the cup ; segments yellow, tortuous, not 
overlapping at the base, cup sulphureous white, 
faintly striped, one-third the length of the limb, 
margin very repand. This little plant is cultivated 
at the Chelsea Garden, and Mr. Anderson assures 
me that it is very distinct. It bears three or more 
flowers. 
7. Nutans. — N. trllobus. Bot. Mag. 24. 945. not trilo- 
bus of Linnaeus. Cup deeper yellow than the 
limb, style much longer. 
N. totus albus reflexus, Morison v. 4. t. 9. f. 13. taken 
from Swert Florileg. is a very bad representation of a white 
reflex 3-flowered plant; with the style not visible. It is too 
bad a representation to deserve much credit ; but it is cer- 
tainly not juncif. alb. Park. par. 93. f. 1. which is identified 
with it by Haworth, for that plant has not a reflex limb, and 
is probably N. dubius of Redoute, an Hermione. 
N. coronatus Rudb. El. 75. f. 6. is a 2-flowered plant, 
with the limb not reflex ; the figure was not taken from a 
living plant, but had reference to N. coronatus Lobel, i. e. 
a one-flowered white Ganymedes, with the style salient, of 
which Rudbeck’s is an unfaithful copy. The other plant, 
which has been called coronatus, or Coornei, from an execra- 
ble figure in Morison and Rudb. El. is copied by them, and 
others, with like infidelity from Lobel. advers. and called 
white, though Lobel says, white with a large yellow cup. 
Lobel states that he never saw the flower, but gives the repre- 
sentation from a drawing, by Mr. C. Coorne, sent to him in 
England, from the Continent, in 1604. The drawing has 
been evidently made from a withered flower, of which the 
limb was quite shrivelled. It was most probably Ganymedes 
striatulus, as the style was longer than the cup. Little de- 
pendance is to be placed on the reported colour of an old 
drawing from a withered specimen, made by an unskilful 
person. The result of a careful examination of the old en- 
gravings of Narcisseae, is that the various authors copied from 
each other with great inaccuracy, and not from nature, and 
that no faith is to be given to any remarkable appearance in 
their works which shall not be verified by specimens. N. 
coronatus and Coornei must be expunged. 
A root called N. capax flore pleno is communicated to
