Narcissus is a genus of mainly hardy, mostly spring-flowering,
bulbous perennials in the Amaryllis family, subfamily Amaryllidoideae. Various common names including daffodil, narcissus, and jonquil are used to
describe all or some of the genus. They are native to meadows and woods in
Europe, North Africa and West Asia, with a center of distribution in the
Western Mediterranean. The number of distinct species varies widely
depending on how they are classified, with the disparity due to similarity
between species and hybridization between species. The number of defined
species ranges from 26 to more than 60, depending on the authority. Species
and hybrids are widely used in gardens and landscapes.
