distinctly toothed or glandular. Indeed the aspect of this
plant is more like Primula Auricula.’ It flowers in July,
always considerably later than P.farinosa.
I am not aware that P.farinosa is found much, if at all,
farther north in Scotland than Edinburgh.—W. J. H.
Our figure is necessarily taken from a plant reared in
the garden of the Apothecaries’ Company at Chelsea, where
it flowered late in April; it is but a trifle larger than a
dry one from Orkney now before us. In two other Orkney
specimens the stem that supports the flowers is extremely
short; it lengthens gradually as the flowering and fruiting
advance.
