Awards Recommended. 



First-class Certificate. 

 To Primula Litto?iiana (votes, unanimous), from Messrs. Bees, 

 Liverpool. A beautiful species found by Mr. Forrest in Yunnan, at an 

 altitude of 11,000 to 12,000 feet. The inflorescence is 15 inches high, 

 and the numerous flowers are crowded together at the top, into a spike 

 about 3 to 4 inches long. Calyx somewhat inflated, mealy, coloured brick 

 red, especially when exposed to the sun. Corolla light-bluish violet, 

 slightly mealy round tube, nearly ^ inch across when flattened out, bat 

 normally the narrowly-ovate petals do not spread. Leaves 8 inches long, 

 and narrow. The plant has proved quite hardy in Britain, and, unlike 

 most Chinese Primulas, likes a sunny position. (Fig. 96.)
