Section: Ganymedes
N. triandrus subsp. pallidulus
Fl. white; perianth segments narrow, slender, acute, somewhat ribbed, with margins incurving, overlapping about one-fifth; corona broad, angled, of a creamier tone than the perianth, mouth expanded, rim broadly recurved and boldly crenate.
According to the American Daffodil Year Book of 1935 published by the American Horticultural Society in Alfred Bates’ article “in Praise of Old Daffodils”, gives this description: “Her flower is not large but the grace of the white trumpet segments with their charming slight twist and the creamy-white trumpet so beautifully recurving at the rim gives her an airy, lithesome delicacy which is so lacking in the larger whites.”
There is a thought that the pollen parent might be N. moschatus.
