Technically a narcissus and daffodil are the same. However generally the term narcissus means the paperwhite variety of daffodil. When most people say daffodil, they often mean the variety with the Trumpet. Jonquil means the variety that has tube shaped leaves. Other daffodils have flat leaves similar to iris leaves.

Most other daffodils have flat leaves. All daffodils have some fragrance, and the jonquils and tazettas (Division 8) have the strongest.
