SUMMARY:
The author reviews Primula specimens and suggests several may be conspecific: P. morsheadiana with P. prenantha (referencing specimen no. 2396 from the Kashongla), P. littledalei with P. baileyana, and P. pulchella with P. pulchelloides. Habitat differences and high elevation are noted as likely causes of size variation.

PRIMULAS.

I have not seen all the collection together, but it appears that some species are not very good. Primula Morsheadiana seems to be the same as Prim. prenantha, if my No 2396(?) from the Kashongla is P. prenantha, as it was identified. Primula littledalei and P. Baileyana may be the same thing, and would appear to be so, if we have them both. One can certainly get these primulas from very different habitats: P. Baileyana from inside the drier zone, and P. littledalei from rock boulder scree. But the only difference in the two appears to be in their size, and that from rock boulder scree at 15000' would naturally be smaller than the one from the forest. Although we have not seen much of P. pulchella, what we have leads us to think that P. pulchella and P. pulchelloides may be the same plant.

SUMMARY:
Notes describe a distinctive blue flower and, at Sanga Chöling, a lovely day interrupted by a hailstorm while collecting seeds of several species. The party met Pemako people who encouraged a southern approach, camped in the same garden where an incarnation welcomed them with tea and peaches, and heard mail was in Tsona with plans to send a man. The following day was a halt for letter writing and drying seeds, with Gentiana specimens noted for specific passes.

not seen before. The blue is not intense, but clear, & the plicae show up a more lilac blue, quite distinct from the lobes. It opens well out to a [T-shape] shape, & though stumpy, is very pretty. It grows more or less singly, but has up to 4 flowers on a scape.

21st Sept. Sanga Chöling. 10 m. 10900'. A lovely day, with a very bad hailstorm in between sun & clear sky. We all dawdled down here,

only getting in at 4.0pm. spending the time collecting seed. A few expected things were not ripe, like Prim. pulchelloides, & the big androsace. But we got some of P. szechuanica, P. tibetica, the pretty, dry zone iris, & two salvias. Met the same Pemako people who were here with us last, & they again affirmed how ready they would be if we were to go to Pemako, from the South or North. They favored the South & said it was much easier that way, - they could come down much near the plains. They seem a very nice lot. Camped in the same garden, & were met by this incarnation with tea & peaches. No sign of a mail, but we hear it is in Tsona & intend sending a man off in a couple of days.
Sanga Chöling

22nd September Halt. A lovely day, no rain. Wrote letters & dried seeds etc.
