This form of M. primuloides is distinguished from the species by 

 smaller flowers, and smaller leaves, which are covered with white 

 villous hairs. Dr. ' Greene indicated its relation to the species some 

 ten years before he proposed it as distinct : in Bull. Calif. Acad., vol. 

 1, p. 120, the statement is made : ' ' The white-villous form is rare in 

 collections, and when growing with the other, looks li^e another 

 species, but in floral character, there is no difference between them." 

 The species and variety frequently grow together.
