 dular, its lanceolate acuminate lobes 5-8 mm. long; corolla 1.2-2 cm. long, deep- 

 red or purplish in drying, the tube about as long as or a little longer than the limb; 

 limb 1.5-3 cm. broad, the lobes notched; capsule ovoid, 7-1 1 mm. long. 



In wet soil near snow banks, bogs, wet meadows and along stream banks, and 

 among rocks, N.M. (Santa Fe and San Miguel cos.) and Ariz. (Coconino and 

 Apache cos.), June-Aug.; Mont, and Ida., s. to N.M., Ut. and Ariz. 



3. Primula Ellislae Pollard & Cockll. 



Plants about 1 dm. tall, from a stout vertical caudex; leaves oblong-spatulate, 

 tapering to a scarious-margined petiole, obtuse to subacute at apex, minutely 

 scabrous, the upper half irregularly and sharply serrulate with salient teeth; scape 

 scarcely surpassing the leaves, bearing a dense umbel of rather large flowers; calyx 

 densely farinose but tending to become glabrate with age, the lanceolate lobes 

 exceeding the tube; corolla lobe twice the length of the calyx, the limb about 7 mm. 

 in diameter, lavender-purple with a yellow eye, the lobes truncate and refuse. 



Rare in high wet mt. meadows in N.M. (Bernalillo, Sandoval, Lincoln and 

 Otero COS.), summer. 



4. Primula Rusbyi Greene. 



Scape slender, not more than 25 cm. long; leaves oblong-spatulate, 5-13 cm. 

 long, (including the margined petiole), more or less puberulent but not white-mealy 

 on lower surface, dentate with the teeth conspicuously glandular; involucral bracts 

 3 or more, lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, thin; flowers 6 to 10; pedicels not 

 glandular-puberulent but more or less white-mealy; calyx tube white and as if 

 farinose at base, campanulate, longer than the ovate-triangular lobes; corolla limb 

 more than 1 cm. wide, the lobes obcordate, the tube surpassing the calyx. 



Usually on seepy slopes and damp mossy ledges in N. M. (Socorro, Grant and 

 Sierra cos.) and Ariz. (Graham, Cochise, Santa Cruz and Pima cos.), May-Sept. 



6. Glaux L. Sea Milkwort 



A monotypic genus.

 4-10 mm. long, fleshy, obtuse to acute at apex, the lower ones opposite, the upper 

 ones usually alternate; flowers sessile or subsessile in leaf axils about midway 

 along stem; calyx petaloid, campanulate, 3-4 mm. long, 5-cleft, whitish; corolla 

 absent; stamens 5, inserted at base of calyx tube and alternate with its lobes, the
