* Probably the outcast of a garden. 



f Dr Smith thinks it possible, that this species may be 

 a hybrid- production between P. vulgaris and P. veris. 

 In its long common fruit-stalk, it resembles the latter ; in, 

 the expanded border of the blossom it agrees with the 

 former. I have a specimen, in which, both the Primrose 

 and Oxlip are produced from the same root, correspond- 

 ing exactly with those mentioned by Withering, as being 

 in the possession of my much valued friend Dawson 

 Turner, Esq; of Yarmouth.
