Fl. rounded; perianth segments very broad, blunt or truncate, prominently mucronate, snow white, a little reflexed, overlapping half or more; the inner segments only very slightly mucronate, with margins recurved at base; corona disc-shaped, closely ribbed, solid brick-red or scarlet.

A description according to the 1912 issue of the Herbert Chapman Daffodils catalog: “Considered by Mr. Engleheart to be perhaps the most beautiful of his productions; faultless in form, color, substance, and constitution; the flower is long-stemmed, circular, broad-petalled, and white; the large eye is quite flat, of a singularly brilliant and refined quality of pure dead scarlet; the plant seeds freely, and is as vigorous and productive as ‘Ornatus’; entirely distinct from all other Poeticus. Indispensable to hybridists.”
