What’s in a Name?


Sometimes I cannot resist playing the fox among the chickens.
The photo is from a plant  found in the Pico’s d’Europa, Espana last year.
Do you think that you know the name of this species?
Think again.
The correct name for this species is we think Narcissus reflexus, as given by Brotero in 1804, Flora Lusitanicus.
Also attached is a drawing, the icon for the species Narcissus triandrus. This is the icon that Linneus used when naming N. triandrus.
So what is division 5?
