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 The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
