Sect. 7. Carolinella (Hemsl.) Pax. 



Carolinella*) Hemsl. in Hook. Icon. pl. (1902) t. 2726; (1903) t. 2775. 



Nota. Carolinella a cl. Hemsley L c. pro genere proprio Capsula calyptratim dehiscente 

 a genere Primida distincto descripta est. Fructus Carolinellae autem non verum pyxidium 

 sistit ut in genere Anagattide, sed capsulam irregulariter calyptratim dehiscentem, ore demum 

 fimbriatam. Fructus tales etiam in nonnullis speciebus typicis Primulae occurrunt. 



Drei Arten, deren Habitus außerordentlich verschiedengestaltig ist, bewohnen sämtlich die 

 Gebirge von Yun-nan; eine vierte ist in den pontischen Gebirgen Vorderasiens beimisch.

53. Pr. Partschiana Pax. — Carolinclla cordifolia Hemsl. in Hook. Icon. pl. 

 (1903) t. 2775. — Plus minus ferrugineo-tomentosa, demum undique fere glabra. Folia

 simulque setaceo-dentata, supra glabra, subtus secus nervös ferrugineo-puberula, nerva- 

 tura prominula praedita; petiolus gracilis, anguste alatus, glabrescens, 15 — 20 cm 

 longus, laminam d= aequans. Scapus quam folia semper brevior, gracilis, 12 — 15 cm 

 altus, superne dr ferrugineo-tomentosus, racemum valde abbreviatum, subumbelliformem 

 gerens; bracteae lineares, dz ferrugineo-tomentosae, 6 — 10 mm longae; pedicelli sub 

 anthesi 1 cm fere longi, post anthesin paullo excrescentes. Flores subpenduli. Calyx 

 minute puberulus vel glaber, 5 mm longus, tubulosus, 5-costatus, lobi acutissimi, erecti, 

 tubo breviores. Corollae roseae, minute puberulae tubus 1 — 1 2 mm longus, limbus 

 1 5 mm diametiens, lobi subquadrati vel obcordati, profunde emarginati, sinus unidenti- 

 culatus. Capsula glabra, calycem superans, calyptratim dehiscens, ore demum fimbriata.

 n. 10890!). 



Nota. Flores neque in Pr. Partschiana neque in Pr. obovata neque in Pr. Henryi cymosi 

 dispositi sunt, ut cl. Hemsley 1. c. af'firmat, sed re vera typice racemosi; diflerentia inflores- 

 centiae intcr has species et Pr. megaseaefoliam haud essentialis evadit. Propter Pr. cordifoliam 

 Pax (1889) nomen specificum speciei Hemsleyanae (1903) transmutandum est; nomen dedi in 

 honorem amicissimi Joseph i P arisch, clarissimi geographiac professoris nunc lipsiensis.
