The first and second haue been sent vs by the name of _Narcisse
Nompareille_, as it is called in French; and in Latine,
_Narcissus omnium maximus amplo calice flauo_, and _Narcissus
Incomparabilis_, that is, the Incomparable Daffodill, or the
greatest Daffodill of all other, with a large yellow cuppe:
but assuredly, although this Daffodill doth exceed many other,
both in length and bignesse, yet the great Spanish bastard
Daffodill, which shall be spoken of hereafter, is in my
perswasion oftentimes a farre higher and larger flower; and
therefore this name was giuen but relatiuely, we may call it
in English, The great None such Daffodill, or the Incomparable
Daffodill, or the great Peerlesse Daffodill, or the Nompareille
Daffodill, which you will: for they all doe answer either the
French or the Latine name; and because this name _Nompareille_
is growne currant by custome, I know not well how to alter it.
The third kinde may passe with the title giuen it, without
controule. The last is very well knowne beyond the Seas,
especially in the Low Countries, and those parts, by the Lady
Mattenesse Daffodill, because Clusius receiued it from her. We
may call it in English, for the correspondency with the former,
The lesser yellow Nompareille, or Peerlesse Daffodill, or the
Lady Mattenesse Daffodill, which you will.
_Narcissus Indicus flore rubro, dictus Iacobæus._
