BALFOUR—NEW SPECIES OF PRIMULA. 61 
side of the calyx, the consequence being that the long style, 
projected here far beyond the mouth of the corolla tube, stands 
up like a pin rising from the calyx, and in the short-styled flower 
the half-exserted anthers form a projecting fringe around the 
corolla tube mouth. This is most characteristic. In P. szbirica, 
Jacq. so far as I have seen it, the corolla lobes crumple up at 
the end of the tube without reflexing, and there is but slight 
protrusion of the style. There are other features of the bracts 
and the inflorescence which I think will prove to be additionally 
diagnostic, but it is too soon to write of them with conviction.
