chatus minor, N. candidissimus of Red.), I obtained seed 
both from it and A. minor by the pollen of fig. 3. The pollen 
of N. montanus however readily fertilizes Ajax and Narcissus. 
N. dnbius in its wild state is two or three-flowered, and in a 
weak one-flowered state was the N. pumilus of Redoute, of 
which no trace can now he discovered. 
I have flowered also the produce of a yellow Ajax by 
jonquill raised by J. T. Alcock, Esq. which had precisely the 
foliage and flower of N. odorus v. calathinus minor, Am. 314. 
which variety (and not the larger as there stated) is the Cam- 
pernelli of Haworth. I have raised younger plants of like 
breed from various sorts of Ajax, shewing the foliage of odo- 
rus, which have not yet flowered. I have also flowered what 
I may call N. Ajax semiqueltia, a single seedling from A. 
pseudonarcissus v. Eboracensis by pollen of Q. incomparabilis, 
a very neat Ajax-like plant, of which the cup is rather ventri- 
cose below, and compressed about the middle, with a regular 
crenate margin, and of the filaments three are inserted just 
below the middle, and three lower, much as in N. Sabini, 
which I believe to be a cross between Q. incomparabilis alba 
and Ajax tubseflorus, with which last it agrees in the superior 
breadth of its leaves, and the roundness of its seed-pod. N. 
Sabini is naturally barren, but I have seedlings from it by N. 
poeticus. The pollen of Narcissi cultivated long by offsets 
becomes obsolete and sterile, and I can obtain no produce 
from pollen of Soleil d’or of the Gardens, Bazelman, double 
Roman, orientalis, &c. ; but taking proper precautions to 
avoid exposure to strong sunshine, or high temperature, I can 
obtain seed from every flower of Ajax minor, N. poeticus stel- 
laris, and other free-seeding species, by any other Narcissus 
which has not become sterile by age. 
The Ganymedes are nearly sterile, probably through 
long cultivation by offsets, and I have no certain cross from 
them, but the plant, which has been named N. cyclamineus 
from a figure Rudb. Theat. flor. 20, was probably raised be- 
tween a Ganymede and Ajax, though it has been long lost. 
I have failed in every attempt to cross Corbularia with the 
Narcissi, and I believe it to be a true genus distinguished by 
assurgent anthers. A gentleman has just informed me that, 
operating at my request, he has a pod of Corbularia in pro-
