Narcissus

#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."
