Nanrcissi or Daffadils 
Correct Daffodil Nomenclature 
Many of our gardening friends think that all yellow varieties are known as ''Daffodils 
or Jonquils” and the white varieties as ''Narcissus.'' They are all correctly expressed 
by the botanical term of "Narcissus" or the English common name of "Daffodil." 
The name DAFFODIL shall be considered synonymous with NARCISSUS and in- 
cludes all varieties, hybrids and species classified in accordance with the eleven divi- 
sions recognized by the Royal Horticultural Society of England. 
The eleven divisions are as follows: 
Division |—TRUMPET DAFFODILS. (Trumpet as long, or longer, than the petals). 
Division 2—INCOMPARABILIS. (Cup measuring from !/3 to nearly the length of 
the petals). 
Division 3—BARRII. (Cup measuring less than 1/3 the length of the petals). 
Division 4—LEEDSII. (Perianth white; cup white, cream or pale yellow). 
Division 5—TRIANDRUS HYBRIDS. (Cup or crown not less than |/3, but less than 
equal the length of the perianth segments). 
Division 6—CYCLAMINEUS HYBRIDS. 
Division 7—JONQUILLA HYBRIDS. All varieties of N. Jonquilla parentage. 
Division 8—POETAZ. Tazetta hybrids. They have several flowers on a single stem. 
Division 9—POETICUS VARIETIES. (Pheasant's Eye). 
Division |O—DOUBLE VARIETIES. 
Division |!—Various. To include N. Bulbocodium, N. Cyclamineus, etc.
