Fl. forming a double triangle; perianth segments broadly ovate, blunt, only slightly mucronate, opening greenish white, becoming pure white, spreading, plane, with margins minutely incurling, overlapping half; the inner segments narrower, with margins more or less strongly wavy; corona cylindrical, smooth, ivory white, with mouth expanded, rim rolled and broadly crenate.

Origin of Name

In his own words, the reason Guy Wilson named this daffodil: “I have named this supremely beautiful flower after a hill a few miles distant from here on whose slopes St. Patrick herded sheep in his boyhood.”
