4-17-31 Primula Fl. Alion (Planesoul) would be thought to be P. elatior Nill except that corolla has some folds at mouth as P. vulgaris v P. veris (Cote # 522, BVH 302, BM), CP. 519 say P. elatior has no folds at mouths.) This may be a hybrid bet. P. vulgaris x P. veris as desc. BVH 300, Lf very like P. veris but less abruptly contracted. Inf! like P. veris (sepals v pedicels looking glabrous but [20x] with very faint sparse pubescence - almost papillose). Calyx most nearly like P. vulgaris with prominent angles v sharply acute lobes but calyx not as pubescent as P. vulgaris and more lovely fitting than P. vulgaris (not however def. in- fated like P. veris v not dark green on angles as P. elatior [Cote]). Corolla most like P. vulgaris in that limb is almost as flat and almost as broad (13 mm while P. vulgaris is 25+ mm. v P. veris is 18 mm at most) but differs in that color is almost as dark as P. veris v tube most like P. veris in being only slightly exerted beyond calyx. Orange colored spots at base of corolla looks like those of P. veris 4-17-31 Chelidonium majus L. Cote # 63, Bon/3 BVH BVH 20, # 415. BM). CP 299. Fl. Alion. Note distortion of Filament narrowed to a thread at apex. ovary.
