218 FORREST—PRIMULACEH FROM WESTERN 
This is a very handsome rock species, varying in the form of the 
foliage and the colour of the flowers, which range from light rose 
to almost crimson in some specimens. It delights in dry, shady 
places on the ledges of limestone crags and, though abundant 
enough in such situations, is local in its distribution.

This is a charming plant, one of the finds of Pére Delavay, but 
very local, only so far having been found in the Tali valley, around 
the city of that name, where it is abundant. It seems to thrive 
best in rather moist, sunny situations. It is new to cultivation, 
only this year having been raised from seed.
