Primula denticulata has long been known to 
botanists, from dried native specimens, but it has 
not till lately been introduced to our gardens. 
The plant from which or drawing was made was 
obligingly communicated by Messrs. Atkins and 
Jayes, nurserymen, of Northampton, whose exten- 
sive collection comprises numerous choice novelties. 
It is a native of Nepal, a country to which we are 
but little indebted for Primulas, the numerous 
species of the genus being almost wholly European. 
The Directors of the East India Company, 
whose liberal encouragement of botany has of late 
been conspicuous, are entitled to the honour of 
introducing this plant to England, its seeds having 
been distributed here by Dr. Royle. 
This species has hitherto induced its possessors to 
afford it the protection of a cold frame, in severe 
weather; it is probable, however, that it will bear 
full exposure. It should be potted in fresh loamy 
soil ; and may be increased both by seeds and 
division of its roots.
