PRIMULA MARGINATA. 
Class, Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
. This is a native of the Swiss Alps, and 
was introduced in 1777: it flowers plenti- 
fully in the spring, and, like all the rest 
of the genus, recommends itself by its 
elegance and beauty. The edges of the 
leaves are curiously bordered with a kind 
of white powder, which makes them look 
very lively. It may be kept in a small pot 
in loam, and requires no shelter at any 
the 
as it does not bear seed with us.
