PRIMULA PURDOMI. 
An interesiting and attractive new species 
illustrated in our issue of March 22. It 
was discovered by Mr. Purdom, ini West Kar- 
Su, Chinia, at an altitude of 10,000 to 11,000 
feet, therefore it is expected to prove hardy. 
The leaves are from three to six inches long, 
tapering at both ends, and about half an 
inch broad at the middle. These, with the 
spikes and calyces, are mealy. The flowers are 
borne at the apex of a six-inch spike, in an 
umbel, and they are of a rosy-ldlac or rosy-

tufted growths composed of little spathulate, 
serrately margined leaves. It increases by 
means of runners. The flowers are large for

SAXIFRAGA FALDQNSIDE. 
This beautiful yellow saxifraga is a hybrid 
raised by Mr. Boyd, and it is far finer than 
S. Boydi. Among yellow, low-growing kinds 
it is what S. Burseriana gloria is among 
white ones. The blooms are quite large, and 
of a soft yellow shade, with deeper coloured 
base. It is very free, and carries its flowers 
on short stems. A first-rate plant for the 
rock garden. A.M., R.H.S., March 4. Sir 
Everard Hambro (gardener, Mr. Grandfield), 
Hayes, Kent.
