Narcissus scaberulus
Category photo (no photo of its own for this entry)
Endemic to a small area of the upper Mondego valley in Portugal, with a recently discovered subpopulation at São Mamede, Narcissus scaberulus is among the smallest known daffodils. It has prostrate or coiled leaves and produces, in February-March, one to three small yellow flowers per umbel, with slightly reflexed perianth segments and a flaring corona occupying more than half the flower's diameter. Threatened with extinction in the wild, it requires well-drained soil, a sunny to partly shaded position, and marked summer dryness during dormancy.
