NARCISSUS — DAFFODILS — JONQUILS 
The terms “Narcissus” and “Daffodils” are interchangeable; there exists a tendency to 
apply the name “Daffodil” to the varieties in which the trumpet or crown is as large or larger 
than the petals (perianth); while the name “Naicissus” is usually used for the varieties having 
small cups or crowns. Jonquils are also a tyre of Narcissus; they usually bear their flowers 
in clusters and have rush-like foliage. Many of the Jonquil Hybrids have only the single 
flower and ordinary foliage. The name “Naicissus” is correct for any or all of the different 
types.
