Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A cute dwarf species native to France and Spain, Blanchard places it in section Jonquillae, however the AGS Encyclopedia considers it to have affinities to Cyclamineus. Long known as Narcissus juncifolius, it was for a time considered part of requienii and now hails to assoanus; it thrives in dryish alkaline soils and is easy as a pan plant in the alpine house.
