Name: All daffodils are Narcissus, which is the genus name. According to the International Cultivar Registration Authority (for Narcissus and for several other flowers that is the UK's Royal Horticultural Society) daffodil is accepted as a common name for all members of the Narcissus genus. However, most people think of daffodils as the single flower, large trumpet yellow ones, which are the most common kind of daffodils, and call the smaller headed scented varieties, narcissi. The Oxford Dictionary defines narcissus (plural narcissi) as "any of a group of flowers including jonquils and daffodils, especially the kind with heavily-scented single white flowers". In fact, even the growers of the scented varieties call all of their products white or yellow, single or multi-headed, "narcissi".The flower is named after Narcissus in Greek legend (see Trivia below). "Narcissus" comes from the Greek for "numbness" referring to the narcotic properties of the plant. 英名：Chinese Narsissus 别名:水仙花、雅蒜、金盏银台、中国水仙、天蒜。 科名：石蒜科 水仙花，别名天葱、雅蒜、金盏银台、玉玲珑。属石蒜科，多年生鳞茎草花。高20一30厘米。叶基生，线形，扁平。花葶抽出叶间，顶端着花3一8朵，呈伞形花序，花冠口部具黄色盏状的副花冠，有“金盏银台”之称。花期1一2月。葫果胞背开裂。 |
