Biflorus (? poeticus x Tazetta).—Many amateurs 
are interested in the beautiful seedling hybrid 
Daffodils which have been raised during the 
last half-century, and as no positive know¬ 
ledge exists as to the crosses, some cultivators 
are endeavouring to find this out by hybridis¬ 
ing. Therefore any quotations made in con¬ 
nection with the present list are intended 
to elicit inquiry. The following note is from 
Herbert’s Amaryllidacece (p. 317), and is here 
reproduced to test whether after the lapse of 
half a century the conditions are the same. 
“ Biflorus steeilis, Bot. Mag., t. 197; two 
flowered, without pollen or ovules in our 
gardens, perhaps from having been raised by 
offsets three centuries or more, without 
renovation by seed. I see no reason to think 
it a hybrid production, for it does not exhibit 
appearances intermediate between those of 
any two narcissean genera or even specie’s.” 
“Triflorus, 2 —4-flowered, from the South of 
France; ovules perfect; flowers rather smaller, 
and the white clearer.” 
“Dianthus, Haworth, unknown to me, but 
described as two-flowered, with a very plicate 
and darker yellow or orange cup.” 
MONSTROSITIES. 
In dealing with this part of our list, every 
available source of information has been taken 
advantage of in order to afford the fullest possible 
particulars respecting the several plants, and quota¬ 
tions have been freely made, especially from the 
faithful Parkinson and in his quaint language. 
Magnicoronati. 
Pseudo-Narcissus plenus (the English double 
Daffodil, or Gerard’s double Daffodil). “Is 
assuredly first naturall of our owne countrey, 
for Mr. Gerrard first discovered it to the world, 
finding it in a poore woman’s garden in the 
West parts of England, where it grew before 
the woman came to dwell there, and, as I 
have heard since, is naturall of the Isle of 
Wight .... Sometimes the flower showeth 
a close and round yellow trunke in the 
middle, separate from the pale outer wings, 
which trunke is very double, showing some 
pale leaves within it, dispersed among the 
yellow. And sometimes the trunke is more 
open, or in part broken, showing forth the 
same colours intermixed within it; the flower 
passing away without giving any seed.” 
— Parkinson, p. 104. 
Telamonius plenus (Wilmer’s great double 
Daffodil); “ the stalk riseth to bee two foote 
high, growing (in a fruitfull and fat soyle) 
strong, and somewhat round, bearing at the 
toppe, out of a thin skinne, one great and 
fair double flower . . . diversly intermixed 
with a rowe of paler, and a rowe of deeper 
yellow leaves, wholly dispersed throughout 
the flower, the pale colour as well as the 
deeper yellow . . . Sometimes the leaves
