Bear's-ear Sanicle. ORD. Primuleew. The only species of 
the genus is a very pretty alpine perennial very like 
Primula cortusoides. It thrives in a compost of moist 
loam, peat, and sand, with a semi-shaded position, if pro- 
tected from the wind.  Propagated by seed, which must 
be sown as soon as ripe, in a cold frame; also by care- 
fully dividing the roots. Although, for garden purposes, 
the two plants are here treated as species, C. pubens is 
a mere form of C. Matthioli.
