Hab. Near the sources of the Columbia, at an elevation of 12,000 feet above the level of the sea. Douglas, 

 1827. — Specimens were also gathered by Mr Douglas in his last journey, in another part of the interior; but 

 the locality is not mentioned, '

Hab. Arctic Sea-shore, between the Mackenzie and Coppermine Rivers. Dr Richardson. — This is pro- 

 bably very rare, as only one specimen exists in the collection. It is quite distinct from the preceding, though 

 agreeing exactly in habit, in the form of the leaves and flowers, and in the repeatedly dichotomous and densely 

 tufted stems : thus confirming the interesting Genus, which, whether we consider its beauty or its localities, 

 has so appropriately been dedicated to the talented and unfortunate Douglas.

Hab. Labrador. Miss Brenton,— This lady has kindly communicated to me specimens of the Primula, 

 now under consideration, from Labrador, precisely agreeing with our P. Scotica, which had hitherto only 

 been found in the extreme northern parts of Scotland, and on the Alps of Koordistan (Fischer in Herb, 

 nostr.). The whole plant is as mealy as P.farinosa : flowers deep purple-blue, in almost capitate umbels, 

 with broader and more approximate segments to the corolla and more distinct glands at the mouth of the tube.
