Primula vialii (Primula littoniana, Forr.) Plant 2 ft. or more, with spikes resembling those of kniphofia: lvs. broadly lanceolate, attenuate into petiole, rounded at apex, irregularly dentate, hairy, about 8 in. long: scape thick, erect, much exceeding the lvs., farinose toward the top, bearing a dense many-fld. elongated spike (which is 3 - 5 in. long) of violet-blue, sessile or short- pedicelled fragrant fls.: bracts linear, farinose: calyx broadly campanulate, deeply cut or split, the scarlet lobes ovate or ovate-lanceolate and acute; corolla- tube exceeding calyx, the limb concave and about 1/3 in. diam., the lobes narrow-ovate and entire with rounded apex: caps, small, globose, not exceeding the calyx. S. W. China, 10,000-11,000 ft. altitude. Intro. 1908. "Named to commemorate the late Consul Litton of Tengyveh." P. Viali, Franch., is very like this species but smaller and lacking the hairs; the plant described under this name in Pax's monograph is said to be a chimera or confusion of P. deflexa, P. gracilenta, and P. Watsonii. P. cernua is by recent authors associated with this group. CH
