Primula forbesii, Franch. Baby Primrose. Figs. 3185, 3186. Handsome slender species, monocarpic in the form first intro. but a perennial as now grown: loosely white-hairy, at least on the lvs. and lower part of the scape: lvs. small, 1-2 in. long, oval-oblong to cordate-oblong, shallowly sinuate-toothed, minutely serrulate: scapes very slender, 6-14 in. high, much exceeding the lvs., often bent above the whorls: fls. small (about l/2in. across), light lilac, slender-pedi-celled, appearing in successive umbels or whorls, the segms. obcordate, calyx sharp-toothed, small, somewhat loose. China; Burma, 3,000 ft. B.M. 7246. R.H. 1892, p. 259. G.C. III. 14:685; 35:20; 40:192. J.H. III. 49:287. R.H.S. 39:149. A.F. 14:757. Gng. 7:149. F.E. 11:72.—Although first described so recently as 1886, and first exhibited in London in 1891, this plant was once a common conservatory plant in America. It is a most profuse bloomer, beginning to flower when not more than 2 or 3 in. high and continuing until the scapes reach a height of 10-12in. It is easily grown from seeds, and blooms well all winter. Unless given plenty of light and room, the scapes become weak and crooked. In recent years it has dropped from favor with florists, its place being taken in part by P. malacoides. Its botanical status is not well understood.
VI. Minutissime
Plant very small or minute, producing stolons: lvs. toothed or crenate: Himalaya, Thibet.
