VI. Eunarcissus. 
PoETicus divides naturally into early and late 
flowering varieties. This not being generally 
known we have followed Haworth. It is 
from the early section, especially Poeticus 
ornatus, that Covent Garden is supplied with 
cut flowers of Poeticus from January to 
April. The growth of two flowers on a stem 
is common to all the Poeticus, early and late, 
but it is not constant; sometimes three flowers 
are met with, but this is very excep’ional. 
Angustifolius (radiiflorus), perianth pure 
white, narrow, cup margined orange-red. 
Ornatus (the flat-crowned saffron rim), perianth 
pure white, broad and well formed, cup 
margined with scarlet. 
Grandiflorus, perianth pure white, very large, 
cup more or less suffused with crimson. 
PoETARUM (saffron cupped), perianth pure white, 
broad, cup suffuse 1 with bright orange- 
scarlet. 
*Spathulatus (the lesser saffron rim), perianth 
white, cup small, edged with saffron. 
Tripodalis, perianth pure white, cup full size, 
and margined with saffron. 
May-flowering Poeticus— 
Poeticus of Linnaeus (middle size), the flowers of 
this are about an inch in diameter, very 
sturdy and finely formed, perianth pure white, 
cup edged with saffron; the single of the small 
double white Gardenia-flowered Poeticus. 
Recuevus (the drooping leaved); this is common 
in English gardens; perianth imre white, 
reflexed somewhat, with a slight doubling 
inwards longitudinally. The leaves droop so 
much that the plant looks untidy. Are there 
varieties of this with less drooping foliage ? 
Majalis, this is figured in Herbert’s Amarglli- 
daceae, pi. 40, fig. 2; divisions of the perianth 
pure white, well-formed, and generally flat, 
cup edged with saffron, leaves erect. 
Stellaris, for some weeks before the flower 
expands may be noticed a little bladder-like 
distended spathe about an inch long, from 
which in due course emerges the flower; 
perianth pure white, cup margined with 
saffron. 
Patellaris (the large broad petalled), the Nar¬ 
cissus purpureus maximus of Parkinson, tab. 
75, fig. 2, and the single of the large double 
white Gardenia-flowered Poeticus so abundant 
everywhere; perianth pure white, flat, finely 
formed, with the'large cup edged with saffron, 
leaves erect. 
Yeebanus (verbanensis); in gardens this graceful 
little species is taller and larger flowered 
than figured by Herbert, tab. 37, fig. 2; 
perianth white slightly tinged with cream, 
cup edged with saffron. Verbanus is a cor¬ 
rected name of Herbert’s which seems to 
have been overlooked. 
*PuRPUREO-ciNCTUS (the dwarf purple rimmed); 
thi«, Parkinson calls Narcissus minimus 
medio-purpureus, and says it was sent to him 
by Mr. John de Pranqueuille, adding, “but 
his naturall place wee know not.” 
*Ceoceo-cinctus (tbedwarf saffron rimmed); this 
Parkinson calls Narcissus medio-croceus tenui- 
folius, and in his quaint fashion informs us 
“ these Daffodils have been brought us from 
the Pyrensen mountains, amongst a number 
of other rare plants.” 
Herbert is of opinion that the above two 
Narcissi must be nearly allied to Poeticus 
verbanus, and as amateurs are now interesting 
themselves in collecting Daffodils, the love¬ 
liest and hardiest of all spring flowers, these 
two may be rediscovered. Herbert states that 
Poeticus verbanus was “ brought to Bolton 
Percy in Yorkshire a few years ago, by Mrs. 
Robert Markham, who found it growing in
