AMARYLLIDACEjE. 
capsule is erect, and the tube very slender, from 6 to 8 times 
as long as the cup. I cannot ascertain whether their anthers 
conform with those of the jonquill. 
Var. 1. Major, var. 2. Media, var. 3. Minor, are culti- 
vated at the Chelsea garden. I believe the difference to be 
very little. I could observe none in the stature of the plants 
after the flower was faded. Haworth adds a fourth and 
smaller variety, which he calls parvicorona, but I find no 
trace of it. Haworth's definitions of his genera Schisanthes, 
Jonquilla, and Chloraster, are merely inadequate descriptions 
of three species. His genus Tros is a specific description of 
Queltia montana, with galanthifolia, which is perhaps a 
variety of montana; his Schisanthes of Queltia orientalis, his 
Philogyne of odora and its varieties. 
9 ? Pumila. — PI. 41. f. 26. N. pumilus, Red. lil. 7. 409. 
Leaves very slender, scape slender short, flower all 
white, cup about ^ the length of the limb, crenate. 
Native situation not ascertained. Only known by 
the figure and description in Redoute. I believe 
it to be a true Queltia. 
78. Narcissus. — Style straight, slender; filaments straight, 
free at the point only, the sepaline adnate to the 
mouth of the tube, the petalinejust below; anthers 
short, with the summit recurved, the margins not 
meeting behind. Tube slender, cylindrical, widened 
at the mouth ; cup short, spread. Capsule declined ? 
and seeds, as far as I have seen, roundish-oblong, 
unless angular by contact, wrinkled, with a slender 
raphe and prominent chalaza. 
1. Gracilis. — Leaves green, narrow ; spathe 1-3-flowered, 
slender ; perianth pale yellow ; style equal to the 
tube, seeds less round than those of poeticus. 
Var. 1. Princeps. — PI. 41. f. 4. Bot. Reg. 816. Sweet 
Br. fl. g. ser. 2. v. 2. Tube 1^, limb near one inch 
long, cup darker, crenulate, 3-16ths long. 
Var. 2. Planicorona. — PI. 41. f. 3. Leaves narrower ; 
tube jj, limb about \ an inch ; cup about 3-16ths 
long, yellow, margin even.
