(rather than golden) flowers, about the size of those of P. vul- 
garis. Involuecre of 5-7 leaflets, which are sessile, slightly fari- 
nose, erect, lanceolate, a little tinged with red, about half the 
length of the pedicels. These latter are slightly spreading. 
Calyz tinged with purple, farinose, tubular-oblong, as long as 
the tube of the corolla, five-lobed about half-way down, dodes 
erect, rather obtuse. Corolla with the tude as long as the calyx, 
the mb subcampanulate, the mouth being wide, not at all con- 
tracted, naked, the /oses of the limb moderately spreading, 
roundish, emarginate. _Anthers oblong, obtuse, sessile, inserted 
near the bottom of the tube. Ovary round-pyriform. Style as _ 
long as the tube. Stigma capitate, but depressed on the top, 
hence subpeltate. W. J. H. 
Cur. A free-growing species, partaking of the habit of the 
common Primrose, and therefore more permanent under artificial 
cultivation than, the fugacious Primula capitata from the same 
country (figured at Tab. 4550). During the winter we kept the 
young plants under the protection of a frame; and we shall not 
know, until next winter has passed, whether this species is 
sufficiently hardy to withstand, unprotected, the cold of our 
winters. It is increased by offsets or by seeds. J. 8.
