I haven't followed the discussion for a couple of weeks, having been
traveling, but I noticed:

I think this must be the plant I distributed (with stated reservations
about the name) as "Narcissus bulbocodium ssp graellsii, tall form." I got
it under the name N. graellsii, but I now doubt that it belongs in the
graellsii taxon, although it does flower late. The flowers are dark whereas
all the other plants I have under this name are pale yellow, and it really
is pretty tall. It is more likely N. bulbocodium ssp. bulbocodium, or a
hybrid within the bulbocodium complex.
