concludes and reviews each of his orders in succession ; 
and in which perhaps are to be found the brightest displays 
of the sagacity which so eminently distinguishes him. 
The difference between Narcissus and Pancraium lies 
in the crown of the corolla; this in the former does not 
coalesce with the stamens above the mouth of the tube, 
while on the latter it is connected with them for its whole 
length or nearly so. 
Notwithstanding the present species has been cultivated 
and described by Parkinson before 1629; yet we do not 
find it recorded, nor its figure or description even quoted 
as a synonym toa plant, in any general system of vegetables. 
It comes the nearest to Narcissus tncomparabilis; but difters 
from that in having a flowerstalk two or three times longer 
than the tube of the corolla, and fully equal to the spathe, 
not two or three times shorter; in having a germen above, 
not enclosed within the spathe; a smaller flower of one 
colour, and on emersion from the spathe completely cernu- 
ous, oblong-lanceolate segments, a proportionately shorter 
crown less conspicuously plaited and curled. Leaves gene- 
rally four, lorately elongated, flattened, glaucous. Stem 
about equal to these, round, compressed, subancipital. 
Flower generally but one, white, about two inches deep, 
odorous, diverging after complete expansion from the stem. 
Tube nearly of the diameter of the germen, green, two or 
three times shorter than the peduncle. Limb partly re- 
curved, nearly equal: Crown plaitedly-streaked, crenulately 
eroded. Stamens inserted below the mouth of the tube, but 
protruding beyond it, tho’ not beyond the crown, connivent. 
Anthers linear, yellow. Stigma an obtuse obscurely 3-lobed 
hollow point. 
Mr. Salisbury tells us that the species is found wild in 
‘the Pyrenees. “He recommends the cultivating of it in a 
deep and moist soil. A very rare plant in our collec- 
-tions, nor had we ever seen it until the present specimen 
‘was kindly sent us by Mr. George Anderson, from his 
“garden at West Ham, Essex, in April last. This gentle- 
man has, we understand, the completest collection of the 
species of this genus of any one in England.
