Gardening. NARCISSUS NARCISSUS 1057 ognized species {as SS'. ineomparahilis and y. odoj'us) are hybrids. See Englebeart, Journ. Roy. Hort. Soc. 17, ; 35. The word Daffodil is variously used. In this country it means usually the full double forms of .V. Psendo- JS'arcissHS, plants which are very common in old gar- dens. ^Modern named varieties of this Daffodil type are Van Sion and Rip Vau Winkle. In England, however, Daffodil is a more general term, used for most species except the Poet's Narcissus {2^. poeticus). There are numberless forms of garden Narcissi. Some of these are hybrids and others are direct varia- tions from the pure or original species. Manj^ of these forms bear Latin names, as if they were species, and thereby confusion often arises. The most serviceable classification is based ou the size and shape of the crown or corona. Baker recognizes three great sections, which are followed below. The standard works on the Narcis- sus in English are Burbidge's " The Narcissus," with many colored plates, and Peter Barr's "Ye Narcissus or Daffodyl Flowre, and hys ; Haworth wrote a Monograph of Narcissi in 1831, in which he made IC genera of the plants which are now referred to Narcis- sus. For 300 years and more, some of the species have been known as cultivated plants. In the following ac- count, the main or stem species are given ; and the most common trade and class names are given in an introductory paragraph, with notes as to their botanical positions. Following are the common and important Latin- form trade names (see the main list, below): Albicans, a form of N. Pseudo-Narcissus, var, moschatus, the segments white and the corona primrose, changing t
