Primula calliantha var. nuda Farrer ex W.W.Sm.

Type of Primula calliantha var. nuda Farrer ex W.W.Sm.

Collector/Expedition: Farrer, Reginald John

Collection number: 1721

Collection date: 14th July 1920

Country/Territory: Myanmar

Collecting locality: Myanmar:Upper Burma:all the passes

Description: Here it abounds vastly on the heights, sheeting the upper lawns in colour, like the Arthritics?(sic) of Europe. It varies like them too, in tones of of vinous amethyst or lavender; and though the lobes are ususally entire, specimens occur (see series) in which they are erose-dentate

Miscellaneous notes: My note of protest on F.1557 (P. calliantha) was quite sound - but for the fact that the whole series these alps represents, not P. calliantha at all, but the almost exactly similar, but efarinose P. nuda, which last year I only once saw & only in seed.
