There is still a fasciated form of Fritillaria imperialis in cultivation, Fritillaria imperialis Slagzwaard. And there is the fasciated Leucojum vernum that is touted as a double. This seems to have various combinations of floral parts. I don't grow it.... Narcissus 'Bowles Early Sulphur' is semi fasciated.
