Macleal Varieties-continued.

MACLEAI, perianth white, yellow cup, small neat flower.

MAJOR (Sabini), perianth white and large, cup yellow. *PARKINSONI, perianth white, cup yellow. No. I of the three natural hybrids found on the Pyrenees by Mr. H. E. Buxton in 1881 may prove to be this plant.

Nelsoni, 1-flowered; flowers horizontal, with short tube below the broad spreading perianth, the cup cylindrical, rarely expanded at the mouth. NELSONI, perianth white and large, cup yellow, straight, and usually suffused with orange on first expanding. L.

N. NELSONI.

Very much reduced from natural size.

PULCHELLUS, perianth white, cup yellow; it can be easily distinguished by the perfect campanulate shape of the well-imbricated flowers, and their somewhat drooping character on first opening. L. WILLIAM BACKHOUSE, perianth white, cup yellow; this is evidently the same cross as the foregoing, but without the colouring matter; the cup is pure yellow, thus showing that Mr. Leeds and Mr. Backhouse used similar flowers in crossing. B.

Bernardi, perianth white, cup yellow, sturdy foliage. The Hon. Mrs. Barton, Straffan House, County Kildare, collected this handsome hybrid a few miles from Luchon, on the Pyrenees, 1878, and it has been verified by Mr. Burbidge as the type Bernardi.

No. 1: this on further investigation may prove to be Macleai Parkinsoni, re-introduced by Mr. H. E. Buxton, 1881, and found on Piz Entecade, near Luchon. Mr. Buxton brought home at least three varieties, that is No. 1, and the two following, and although they have all the appearance of being produced by the same cross as Mrs. Barton's plant, they are very different in habit, the leaves being more numerous, and the flowers smaller and n.ore abundant. The members of the Daffodil Conference may be assured there is some interesting work in store for them in 1885.

FRITTON DECOY, perianth white, cup yellow edged with orange.

H. E. BUXTON, perianth white, cup suffused with orange-scarlet.

Odorus

=

calathinus of Bot. Mag. (the great 6lobed), perianth and cup full yellow. The group Odorus is represented in Haworth's Monograph by nine names. At present only three can satisfactorily be made out, and one is considered a synonym, so that in 1885, when the Conference meets to receive the report of its Committee, it is hoped that not only the missing five of this group will be represented, but that the missing ancient daffodils generally will appear in the collections staged. While, therefore, Mr. Burbidge is getting his next paper ready, cultivators and amateurs at home and abroad should be diligent in collecting together, if possible, the Daffodils known to Parkinson, Linnæus, Clusius, Rudbeck, Decandolle, Redouté, Haworth, Salisbury, and Herbert.
