 Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis(a kind of Tazetta daffodils) is called Nihon Suisen(日本水仙, Japanese daffodil) in Japan. The daffodil came from the Mediterranean region to Japan through China before the Muromachi Period(1333-1573) and was naturalized in Japan.
We associate daffodil with this species.
