SUMMARY:
Description of Primula uniflora in full flower on a small patch of open grassy hillside, noted for its unusually flat, outward-facing blooms. The largest flower measured 1 5/8 inches across.

No. 3536 = 3438. Primula uniflora. This is a magnificent primula, much finer than it appeared to be going to become when first taken. Now in full flower, on a very small patch of open grassy hillside. It opens more fully than any primula I know in this section, being almost flat — looking straight out at one, not pendulous at all. The biggest flower taped 1 5/8" across.

SUMMARY:
Notes list specimens 5887–5906 with habitat and identification comments on several Primula species and Meconopsis integrifolia. It records that Taylor obtained P. rotundifolia further east and includes additional taxa such as Cyananthus, Pedicularis, Geranium, Cotoneaster, and Saxifraga.

No. Taylor got rotundifolia further East.

5887 Primula Littledalei. This seems to have taken the place of 3892 (P. rotundifolia). It has much the same habitat, but does also grow out in the open on grassy ledges of the hillside. These taken from the lower altitude were in the mixed Abies rhododendron forest, which is quite unlike P. rotundifolia. They were growing just at the upper limit of P. Jaffreyana close to this. — at what I would suppose to be a very low altitude for a Rotundifolia primula.

5888. Primula hyacinthina. I don't know this form of P. bellidifolia. It has the thick farina on the back of the leaves like P. hyacinthina, but is a very small primula, much smaller than what I have seen of the latter. The usual height would be about 4"-5".

5889. Primula amabilis. I don't know this. The capsules look rather like a nivalid primula, but otherwise the plant does not. We were too late for any flowers.

5890 Primula rhodochroa. At first I thought of a dwarf kind of P. atrodentata, which it resembles in some ways. But flowers are nearly all single.

5891 Meconopsis integrifolia. Only seen growing in a very small area 50' x 50'. Flowers mostly over. There are many old scapes still standing in clumps, but the plant has old leaves at the base, just above the roots. The fresh flowers are a fine colour. Habitat is very similar to Mec. superba or Mec. Sherriffii.

SUMMARY:
The page lists Primula and Omphalogramma specimens (nos. 6504–6554) with identifications, comparisons to earlier numbers, and locality notes. It records that Primula Elizabethae was collected at its type locality (1886), that on May 15th plants were under 3 ft of snow, and seed likely ripened about 15th September. Several entries note proximity to prior collections (e.g., 5872) and observations on forms and seed set.

6504 Primula rhodochroa Minut. Sect. Gonyore. Possibly equals no 5890. Yes.

6515. " micropetala? belle-ish? Kulu Phu Chu. hyacinthina. Kulu Phu Chu. I was looking for No 5888 but could not find it. This was some miles away.

6516. " Aliceae. Calliantha. Kulu Phu Chu. Kulu Phu Chu. Calliantha. Taken quite close to where I got 5872, I think there is no doubt it is the same thing.

6517. " Morsheadiana. prenautha. Tsarang La. This is the high altitude form, bigger flower, never candelabra in form.

6518. " Aliceae. calliantha. calliantha Tsarang La. This is from the same place as 5872.

6521. Omphalogramma brachysiphon. v. Lo La. Too far gone for me to say. It may be O. minus.

6522. Primula Elizabethae. Yes. La La. From type locality (1886). The seeds are nearly all blown out. This collection represents 2 days' work! On May 15th these were under 3 ft. of snow. Seed must have been fully ripe about 15th September.

6523. Primula ? laeta? Chamaethauma. Do La. Taken from approximately the same spot as the type specimen of P. laeta. It does not appear to be either P. Roylei (calderiana), or P. tsonanensis, the only other two Petiolares I could find there. Roots taken with soil without: the winter bud wrapped in moss.

6524. " Roylei. calderiana. Do La. Only taken in case it might be P. laeta.

6525. " Subularia. v. Do La. Very few seeds in capsules.

6526. " Dryadifolia Sect. tsonapensis. Do La. tsonapensis tsonapensis. This is the same primula as my Nos. 5865 + 5931. This would be very pretty in cultivation. Would like to try seeds on moss on a damp, sloping boulder.

SUMMARY:
The page lists Primula, Rhododendron, and Lilium/Nomocharis records from Lo La, Lo La Chu, Sengo Sambu, and near Molo, with a note referencing Ludlow specimen 1868 dated 26/06/1936. It records that on May 24 G. Taylor left for Lilung in the Tsangpo Valley after discovering a new race of Yunnan Greenfinch, and the party then split between the Molo area and routes toward Lilung and the Dashong La.

slender in these three primulas, but this I believe does vary in Petiolaris primulas a good deal.

3781. Primula glabra (Genestieriana?) Lo La

3782. Primula lactea (Roylei). P. lactea from this area seem remarkably large flowered. Today I noticed many very dark forms, which had no yellow eye, which I always associated with P. Roylei. Clumps of the no eye one, are fairly common, but the two never mix. Probably there are only under 5% with no eye.

3783. Rhododendron forrestii var. (repens). This has 2 flowers in almost every case (not 1 as expected) & has a loose brown indumentum on leaf upper surface, which may be rubbed off in drying. Lo La

3784. Rhododendron pumilum (Dwarf sp. 2-4"). Lo La

3785. Rhododendron calostrotum (campylogynum). SEED. Lo La near Molo

3786. Rhododendron chaetomallum var. chamaephytum (sp.). Seems to be somewhere near Rhododendron chamaephytum (repens), but has a very large leaf. As very few flowers I did not open any for examination. Sengo Sambu Lo La Chu

3787. Primula Calderiana (Roylei) var. alba. Very few seen. Sengo Sambu Lo La Chu

3788. Primula ioessa. = Ludlow 1868 of 26.6.36. These specimens are only very early ones, but they do not at all resemble P. ioessa type 2514 from Migyitun. Should they not be nearer P. vinosa? Sengo Sambu Lo La Chu

3789. Rhododendron pumilum (fraude?) Sengo Sambu Lo La Chu

3790. Rhododendron lanatum var. luciferum (sp.). Sengo Sambu, Lo La Chu

3791. Seed only of Lilium (Nomocharis) nana and/or Souliei. Both grow together here, from the capsule I can't say which is which. Lo La

No. 17a - Skin set
On May 24. G. Taylor left for Lilung in the Tsangpo Valley where he discovered a new race of the Yunnan Greenfinch.
No. 355 Hypacanthis ambiguus taylori, a form much closer to the Yunnan ambiguus than to the typical race. More & more of the avifauna of S.W. China was forcing itself on our attention.

24th May * Party separates
G.S. remains in Molo area to work the upper reaches of the Langong Chu, Thide La, Lo La, Tsari Sarma passes.
L & T go off to Lilung & down the Tsangpo work the passes in the vicinity of the Dashong La.

They thus separate for the whole of the season & the result is a bigger & more representative collection.
