A beautiful perennial species suggesting the genus Primula, 
with its scapose, solitary flowers and its closely clustered basal 
leaves. It differs from most of the other members of this 
section by its habit of producing runners above ground and by 
its underground bulbils which appear on subterranean stems 
near the end of the growing season. Greene described the low, 
small-flowered, pilose plant as M. pilosellus, but in a full series 
of specimens every gradation in the size of the parts and in the 
amount and length of the pubescence may be found. Greene 
stated that the large and small forms hybridized and ,that this 
accounted for the numerous intermediates, but, so far, there 18 
no evidence to support this theory.
