This species is similar to N. poeticus, with a white (or creamy) corolla and a small orange corona, but it has multiple flowers per stem (whereas N. poeticus has solitary flowers), per Vascular Plants of North Carolina.
Naturalized daffodils are often undercollected and misidentified by field botanists. When making specimens of Narcissus, the collector should note number of flowers per scape (in the population), fragrance, tepal/corona color, and whether leaves are glaucous, green, flat, grooved, or round.
