Field and woodland plants. le, the lovelyPrimrose {Primula vulgaris orP. acaulis—order Primulacece),which so beautifully bedecksoiu- woods and banks in Ajiriland May, is so well known thata description for puri:)Oses ofidentification is quite un-necessary. There are two distinct forms of the primrose flower, often called the pin-eyed and the tlirum-eyed, the two forms growing on different plants. The former has its stamens at a contracted portion of the tube, about half way down, and a style so long that the stigma is visible at the toj) of the tube. The latter has its stamens at the contracted throat of the tube, while the style is so short that the stigma is half-way down. These two forms may be termed the long-styled and the short-styled primrose, respectively, and the difference is of great import-ance, inasmuch as it helps to bring about the cross-fertilisation ofthe flower.
