Narcissus tazetta ssp. italicus is actually a sterile hybrid between N. tazetta and Narcissus papyraceus , found in Italy where the two species overlap. Note that N. papyraceus isn't an Italian native, but was introduced long ago and naturalized, especially along the coasts. William Welch reports this hybrid has been also named 'Stars' and 'Straw White', while Scott Ogden adds 'Minor Monarch' in his book. Photo by Angelo Porcelli.
