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).
