corolla rich lilac-purpie the undivided part yellow, with a scolloped ring 
of deep purple midway between the base of the segments and the stamen 
tube: stamen-tube often nearly as long as the anthers, yellow: anthers 
purple: capsule crustaceous, 6 lines long, nearly cylindrical, acute, open-

D. Cusickii Greene 1. c. More or less pubescent and glandular: leaves 
broadly to narrowly lanceolate, entire, or dentate toward the apex, usually 
obtuse, 1-2 inches long, narrowed below to a winged petiole: scapes 3-4 
inches high, few-flowered: bracts of the involucre narrowly lanceolate, 1-2 
lines long: lobes of the calyx lanceolate, acute, but little longer than the 
tube: corolla-lobes dark purple with yellow base and a dark purple line 
at the mouth of the tube: stamen tube less than a line long, almost black : 
anthers yellow with a black stripe through the centre: capsule ovoid, acute, 
scarcely surpassing the calyx, 5-valved fot the apex. Dry hillsides, eas- 
tern Oregon and Brit. Columbia.

2 PRIMULA L. Gen. n. 197. 
Perennial scapose herbs with all radical leaves and large or small 
flowers umbellate or in involucrate or bracted racemose whorls

late, persistent, often angled, 5-lobed, the lobes imbricated. Co- 
rolla funnelform or salverform, the tube longer than or at least 
equalling the calyx. Stamens 5, distinct, inserted on the tube or 
at the throat of the corolla. Style filiform: stigma capitate. Cap-

to a winged petiole an inch or less long; flowers purple, about 5 lines wide, 
lobes orbicular or nearly so, notched, with a very short claw 2 lines long, 
tube exceeding the calyx by 2 lines; funnelform above the calyx; calyx-

tube of the calyx ;lpod nearly spherical; pedicels of the lateral flowers about 
a line long the terminal one 2 to6 lines long; bracts oblong to ovate lan- 
ceolate, entire or toothed at apex, 1 to 6 lines long; base of plant covered 
with the dead sheaths of former leaves. Marshy places at Ketchum Idaho. ”’ 
Var. .minor Jones1. c. ‘‘ Leaves an inch long or less, elliptical ob-
