An Ali)iiie Primrose 
At the top of Mount Elinore grows the 
clearest little Primrose. 
The leaves are elliptical and about a 
quarter of an inch long. Like those of 
so many of the high mountain plants, 
they are rigid and evergreen. 
From the center of the leaves grows 
a flower stem usually bearing one or two 
rose-purple blossoms half an inch long. 
The plants are from two to three 
inches high. 
It is a cousin to the Shooting Star we 
found on Mount Rainier. 
The picture on the opposite page shows 
the size of the plant. 
No. 4.
