SUMMARY:
Page lists Primula specimens with collection localities Lo La and Nyugla, cross-referencing earlier specimen numbers. Notes include an observation on Primula normaniana showing scape-borne leaves/roots suggesting possible vegetative propagation and mention of roots taken where seed was unavailable.

CONTENT:
6558 Primula aff. atrodentata. Lo La. Same as No. 3636.
6570 Primula boothii (gracilipes). Nyugla. Same as 3671.
6571 Primula aff. tsariensis v. porella. Nyugla. 3673.
6574 Primula normaniana. Lo La. 3650. One specimen shows a growth of leaves at
the head of the scape, which appear to be roots coming from this, as if the
scape acted as a stolon. Can these primulas be cultivated in this way?
6575 Primula lacerata (Cortusoides sect.). Lo La. Same as 3649. No seed available. Roots taken.

SUMMARY:
Field notes list several Primula species with localities, habitat and elevation details, flowering or seed status, and comparisons to collections made in 1936. There is uncertainty about the exact P. ioessa type locality near Lo Migyitun due to mist and deep snow, and sites such as KHERI GOMPA at Chungkar are referenced.

6621. Primula winteri. Yuda. Mostly on moss covered boulders in Rhododendron forest. The winter bud in great prominence, some even opening already up at 13 or 13,500 ft.

6622. Primula sikkimensis. Yuda. I did not see the flowers of this primula at all.

6623. Primula Sandemaniana. Migyitun. From the exact spot as the type specimen. I can find it nowhere else. A little seed found. A very small winter bud, with farina, is just noticeable.

6624. Primula sikkimensis Sect. probably P. ioessa type. Lo Migyitun. Thick mist rain, with 8" of snow prevented us from being certain of the spot where No 2514, the type of P. ioessa, was taken. But I have little doubt myself that this is the true ioessa. It could only be P. Hopeana otherwise, and I do not think this is so. This comes from certainly within a very short distance of 2514, if not from the very spot.

6625. Primula tibetica. Chayul Dzong. Some seed taken. Still in flower. Up to 3½".

6626. Primula strumosa. Tremo. Same as 1300, taken in 1936.

6627. Primula Boothii (gracilipes). Pangchen. Taken from the same place in 1936, where flowers were almost over by the end of March. This, I suppose, is the more common low altitude form.

6628. Primula filipes. Chungkar. From same place as in 1936, at KHERI GOMPA, Chungkar. Not in flower this year, though it was at this time in 1936.
