SUMMARY:
Notes on Petiolarid primulas, with early flowering in April by P. winteri, P. gracilipes, P. bracteosa, P. filipes, and P. normaniana. The author summarizes collection efforts: 107 gatherings across 44 taxa in 1937 and 95 gatherings in 1949, with monthly breakdowns showing peaks in June and July. A comparative table contrasts monthly totals for 1937 and 1949.

CONTENT:
First are Petiolarids - Denticulate & the like all atrodentata.
P. winteri & gracilipes often coming through the snow.
There is not very much in them, but they cause a show in themselves, especially gracilipes. These flower in April, & with them P. bracteosa & P. filipes, normaniana & others. After them there is a comparative rush. In 1937, I took 107 gatherings of primulas representing 44 species and varieties. Of these 2 were taken in April, 16 gatherings were made in May, 37 in June, 49 in July. In 1949 I have taken 95 gatherings as follows: April 9, May 30, June 31, July 19, August 6.
