EUROPEAN SPECIES OF PRIMULA, WITH SYNONYMY. 



[The following list is based upon the arrangement in Pax's mono- 

 graph in Engler's " Pflanzenreich." It does not contain a complete 

 synonymy of the European forms, for many of the old names were 

 given to groups which have subsequently been divided into several 

 sections and given distinct specific names ; the synonymy is there- 

 fore frequently very much involved. It is hoped that the list will 

 be useful to cultivators, however, and an endeavour has been made to 

 include all the names under which European Primulas appear in garden 

 lists. Hybrids have been left out of this list, as Mr. Farrer has 

 appended a synonymic list to his paper on p. 125. — Ed.]
