✦ Synopsis

Archives ot IIiiliiiiliiii10r162 9 Springer-Verlag 1985 Sir, -concerning our article on the allergenic properties of Primula mistassinica, Michaux [Arch Dermatol Res 275:365 (1983)] and its constituent we must announce a short correction. As indicated on the map of Soper et al. (cited as reference [24] in our paper) Primula mistassinicia does not grow in the Chicago area.
