74 TRANSACTIONS, NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY OF GLASGOW. 



Primula farinosa, Linn., grows plentifully on many of the 

 alpine slopes over 6,000 feet, and is very robust on wet ground. 



Primula longiflora, AH., is a large species, with an exceed- 

 ingly long-tubed corolla. Primula minima, L., is a very small 

 plant, usually one-flowered, and scarcely visible above the short 

 grass on the high alps. The leaves are deeply crenate, shining, 

 and obcuneate, with mucromate teeth. I have found this on 

 the Austrian mountains. 



There are many hybrids among the Primulas, and much 

 difficulty exists in all descriptions of these, for the variations 

 are in many cases so slight and indefinite as to make it im- 

 possible to honestly create them distinct species. It is possible, 

 however, to make a more accurate arrangement of species in 

 this genus, and a clear description of each species, with its 

 variations, would do much to make what at present is a difficult 

 problem a pleasant and simple study.

 before this Society the Schizopod, Macropsis Slahberi (van 

 Beneden), which I dredged in Loch Fyne last year.
