Narcissus juncifolius, Lag. (N. Requienii, Roem. Queltia juncifolia, Herb. Philogyne minor, Haw.). Very small slender species, with bulb about ½in diam., and very narrow rush-like terete lvs., about 6 in. long: scape slender and terete, 6-;12 in. long: fls. 1—4, horizontal or ascending, the tube slender cylindrical (½in. long), the ovate spreading imbricated segms. and the cup - shaped, crenulate corona bright yellow or the corona sometimes darker; style reaching the throat of the tube; segms. about twice as long as corona. S. France and south.—A choice fancier's plant. Var. minutiflorus, Baker (N. minutiflorus, Willk.), has about 4 very small fls., the perianth-tube ⅓ in. and the ovate segms. 1\6 in. long; corona truncate. Var. rupicolus, Baker (N. rupicolus, Dufour), Fig. 2445, has pedicels none or very short, perianth-tube ¾in. long and limb ¾in. across; corona 6-lobed. B.M. 6473 C. Var. gaditanus, Baker (N. gaditanus, Boiss.). Fls. 4 or 5, with rather long pedicels; segms. of perianth 1/6in. or less long, broadly ovate; corona truncate, nearly equaling segms. In this medium-crowned section belong many hybrid races derived from the long-crowns (or trumpets) and the short-crowns. Perhaps the best-known of these races in gardens are those called N. Barrii (Fig. 2446) and N. Leedsii (see pp. 2106 and 2113). The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
