Scientific Names

Read about Primula fortunei in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Primula fortunei, Vatke, is undetermined. The plant in cult, is described and figured in G.C. III. 53:238 as a perennial with coarsely dentate lvs., with very little farina: scapes about 3 in. high, terminating in a loose head of fls. which suggest those of P.farinosa: fls. about 1/2in. diam., bluish lilac, with primrose yellow eye. "Flowering early in the year, it is a useful subject for the alpine house, and the blooms last fresh for a considerable period." Fl. Mag., X. 7 (1860). J.H. III. 63:343. Gn. 69, p. 210; 77, p. 182. G. 37:279 — Rare in cult.; at Kew grown recently from stock contributed in 1905 by Col. Beddome. Perhaps hybrid of P. denticulata and P. farinosa. Said to be suggestive, as it grows, of P. frondosa. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
