Narcissus dubius (Spanish: meados de zorro) is a species of the genus Narcissus (daffodils) in the family Amaryllidaceae. It is classified in Section Tazettae and is native to northeastern Spain.

Description

Narcissus dubius is a bulbous plant with completely white petals and trumpet, and produces up to six flowers per umbel. Genetic studies indicate that it may be a hybrid of Narcissus assoanus and Narcissus papyraceus.[3] Its range spans Spain and France.

It may be confused with the closely related species Narcissus tazetta, which has a yellow trumpet. Narcissus dubius may also be mistaken for Narcissus papyraceus, which is similar in appearance but twice as large.

Taxonomy

Narcissus dubius was described in 1773 by French botanist and Ichthyology Antoine Gouan in his book Illustrationes et Observationes Botanicae 22.[4] It has 25 pairs of chromosomes.[5]
