cartilaginous teeth, and are surrounded by a very narrow, 

 indistinct, cartilaginous border, and densely clothed with 

 hairs, which exude colourless viscid matter. Involucral 

 bracts narrow, elongated. Flowers subsessile, more or less 

 violet ; calyx of moderate length ; corolla lobes bifid, and 

 glandular-hairy ; the throat with glandular hairs and 

 coloured folds reaching to the partition of the lobes. 



18. P. Allionii, Loisl. — Scattered over a small region 

 between Cuneo and Nice, in the Maritime Alps — on 

 limestone. 



Leaves somewhat fleshy, very viscid, grey -green, almost 

 scentless, roundish or oblong, entire or toothed. Green 

 parts of the plant without farina, very densely covered 

 with glandular hairs ; glands colourless ; flower stem 

 scarcely one mm. long ; peduncles two to four mm. long ; 

 calyx teeth adpressed. Flowers rosy, throat white and beset 

 with short glandular hairs ; anthers of the short-styled 

 flowers distant from the throat by one-fifth of the length 

 of the tube ; capsule generally shorter than the calyx. 



In cultivation, this interesting Primula must be grown 

 in the shade and protected from rain. In its native 

 habitats the root-stock is covered with the withered leaves 

 of former years still adhering and imbricated over it like 

 roof tiles. 



19. P. TYKOLENSis, Schott. — South Tyrol and Yenetia — 

 on limestone rocks and stony turf. Leaves somewhat 

 fleshy, viscid, dark green, with little scent, small, roundish 

 or oblong, almost entire or denticulate, teeth with car- 

 tilaginous tips. Green parts of the plant densely beset 

 with short glandular hairs ; glands colourless. Flower stem 

 four-tenths to two cm. long, one to two flowered; peduncles 

 almost none. Involucral bracts lanceolate or linear, 

 reaching generally half-way up the calyx or to its top. 

 Calyx teeth leaning on the tube of the corolla. Flowers 

 rosy lilac, throat whitish and covered with longish glandular 

 hairs. Anthers of the short-styled flowers inserted a little 

 below, or one-fourth of the tube below, the throat. Cap- 

 sule reaching a little above the middle of the calyx. —
