216 FORREST—PRIMULACEH FROM WESTERN 
Another most interesting new species is P. Bulleyana. This is 
a tall moisture-loving plant of two, or in abnormal specimens 
fully three feet in height. In foliage it somewhat resembles 
P. serratifolia, Franch., but its special feature lies in the rich 
colouring of the flowers, which are of a deep reddish-orange 
shade, when in bud. a velvety crimson, of large size, and in 
numerous dense whorls. Like most of the alpine or sub-alpine 
primulas, this species grows in huge colonies, and to see several 
acres densely covered with such plants is a sight ever to be 
remembered. 
All the photographs from which the plates have been made to 
illustrate this paper were taken by Mr. Robert Adam, of the 
Royal Botanic Garden, excepting those taken by myself. of the 
plants in their habitats.
