on p. 223, \ ul. III. -.™-.

 species. Alps. SVN. P. mcoao major (of English gardens).

 lubes entire. July. I. long -petiol ate, winged, ovate or oblong, 

 the base entire, cuneate, pinnatifid. Glacier of Li-Kiang, 

 Yunnan, China. The flowers of this species recall those of 

 Erinus alpinu», but are, of course, larger. 



P- Plantse (Planta's). /I. rose-purple, rather large. April and 

 Hay. /. ovate, pointed, finely serrated from the middle to the 

 apex, entirely covered with brown, glandular hairs. 1880. 

 Habit robust, like that of P. viscosa hirmta; rosettes close 

 and tufty. A hybrid between P. vtseoaa hirsuta and P.

P. Porta (Porta's). Jl. wine-red, large, several on a scape. April 

 and ^fay. I. small, viscous, obovate, serrated only on the upper 

 half. South Tyrol, 1873. A hybrid between P. Auricula and 

 P. €Uumensis, It is allied to P. discolor, but differs in the 

 glandular-hairy scape and in the absence of farina on the calyx 

 and corolla. A useful little plant for rockeries. 



P. pubescens alba (white). See description under P. nivalis, 

 on p. 221, Vol. ITT. This plant has been long known in English 

 gardens under the names of P. nivalig and P. nicea, and has 

 been supposed to be a variety of P. viscosa. It is, however, 

 not viscid, and is usually mealy, which not only excludes it 

 from P. viscosa, but also from P. v. hirmta, under which it is 

 often quoted. 



P. pulcbra (beautiful), fl. purple, large for the size of the plant 

 (lin. in diameter) ; tube funnel-shaped. I. oblong or ovate-oblong, 

 ;laucou3 beneath ; base round or cordate ; margins wavy,

 half as broad, with seven to nine lar|fe, triangular teeth at the 

 apex ; margins covered with small, sessile glands. Southern Tyrol, 

 Ao. (6(XX)ft. to 7000ft.). This hybrid between P. minima and 

 P. daonengis is well named, being amongst the smallest of its 

 class. It is nearly allied to P. minima in habit and general 

 appearance. 



P« pnrporea (purple), of Royle. A variety of P. Stuartii, 



P, pnsllla (weak), of Wallich. JL violet-purple, sessile, about lin, 

 in diameter; calyx hoary; tube short, terete; lobes oblong,

 densely tufted, hoary. This must not be confounded with 

 P. pu9iUa, of Goldie. Syn. P. humtlis. 



P. Reldii (Reid's). /. ivory-white, fragrant, very shortly pedi- 

 cellate, nodding; calyx ample, glandular-ciliate ; corolla tube as 

 long as the calyx, the lobes broadly oblong, connivent in a globe,

 A close ally of P. sikkimeim^.

P. rottindifolia (round-leaved). JL pale purple or pink, with a 

 yellow throat ; corolla tube twice as long as the calyx ; limb flat, 



* iin. in diameter ; inflorescence puberulous and mealy ; scape 8in. 

 to 12in. high. June. I. lin. to 4in. in diameter, orbicular -cor- 

 date, crenately toothed; petioles 6in, to 12in. long. Buds in

 scape not viscous. April and May. I cuneate, the upper quarter 

 of their margins set with seven to nine acute, triangular teeth, the 

 tips blunt. A hybrid between F,glutinosa (which it resembles in 

 habit) and P. minima, growing with its parents. It should be 

 grown in peaty soil, sphagnum, &c,

 deltoid, lanceolate, acute ; corolla intense violet, the tube cylin-
