Narcissus #818 \9-21-33) all collected by Dr. Lord on cliffs #826 \4-3-33 ) near La Victoria, Aleudia #828 \4-3-33 } were sent to Kew as # 826. On June 13, 1933 Kew reports "#826 is apparently N. Tazetta L var. radiatus Knobche, which is perhaps the same as N. dubius Roman, a species of rather doubtful status." Dr. Lord in the meantime sent plants to a horticultural friend, Clarence Elliott, Esq., Six Wells Nursery, STEVENAGE, HERTS, England who in turn consulted E.H. Bowles (who, Dr. Lord quotes Capt. Munn," is the biggest authority on the subject in England".) April 14, 1933, E.H. Bowles writes from MYDDLETON HOUSE to Clarence Elliott, Esq., as follows "I think you are right: your narcissus sample is canalculatus unless it is Jordan's Monspelensis. I rather think they are one and the same."
