SUMMARY:
Notes from Lo La (with mention of Chudi Chu) documenting several specimens, including Rhododendron (e.g., aff. pruniflorum, tsangpoense, repens) and Primula taxa, with observations on calyx scales, filament hairs, and scape length. Additional entries note Bergenia purpurascens and a Sax. specimen from the same place.

lindleyi Chudi Chu

3741. Rhod. Maddenii Ser. Lindleyi? This is a magnificent sight here now. I cannot make out if it is R. lindleyi or another. It is the same as 3667, but probably differs from No. 3665. Pink is distinct even in full flower.

charitope pruniflorum, or campylogynum? Lo La
3752 Rhod. aff. pruniflorum. Scales far apart - not contiguous. Hairs on filaments run up to anthers. Calyx lobes densely scaly at margins.

charitope Lo La

3751. Rhod. aff. tsangpoense. Differs from above chiefly in calyx lobes. At first put together in collection.

lopsangianum Lo La
3753 Rhod. aff. repens. Not time to work this out.

chionogenes Lo La

3754. Prim. Pet. sp. nov. = 3648. Some farina evident in tube and on fresh scapes.

Bergenia purpurascens Lo La

3755. Sax. from same place.

P. geraldinae Lo La
3756 = 3650 Primula. Scape slightly longer, otherwise no change. Flowers almost over.

P. laciniata Lo La

3759. = 3649 Primula Cortusoides Sect
