Primula heucherifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae.
Primula heucherifolia is a stoloniferous species with creeping rhizomes. [2] Stems sprout from the base of the plant and are 15–30 cm in height. [3] Plants bloom between May and June. Each stem can possess three to ten nodding flowers. [2] Flowers can range from a lilac-mauve to a deep purple in colour. [4] The leaves are sparsely hairy and possess an orbicular blade. [2] Leaves range in length from 6–15 cm and width by 3–6 cm. [3]
Primula heucherifolia is native to South-central China, [1] where it can be found on the western side of the Sichuan province. [2] It has been recorded growing at ranges of 2000–3200 metres above sea level. [4] P. heucherifolia grows in shaded, cool and damp habitats. It is often found growing under the shelter of rocks, cliffs, trees and grasses. [4] It can also be found growing within bamboo forests. [2]
Primula veris, the cowslip, common cowslip, or cowslip primrose, is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the primrose family Primulaceae. The species is native throughout most of temperate Europe and western Asia, and although absent from more northerly areas including much of northwest Scotland, it reappears in northernmost Sutherland and Orkney and in Scandinavia. This species frequently hybridizes with other Primulas such as the common primrose Primula vulgaris to form false oxlip which is often confused with true oxlip, a much rarer plant.
Primula hendersonii is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, native to western North America, from California north to southern British Columbia and Idaho. Common names include broad-leaved shooting star, Henderson's shooting star, mosquito bills, and sailor caps.
Primula vulgaris, the common primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, native to Eurasia. The common name is primrose, or occasionally common primrose or English primrose to distinguish it from other Primula species referred to as primroses.
Campanula carpatica, the tussock bellflower or Carpathian harebell, is a species of flowering plant in the family Campanulaceae.

Primula elatior, the oxlip, is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, native to nutrient-poor and calcium-rich damp woods and meadows throughout Europe, with northern borders in Denmark and southern parts of Sweden, eastwards to the Altai Mountains and on the Kola Peninsula in Russia, and westwards in the British Isles.

Primula algida is a species of flowering plant within the family Primulaceae. This species was first described by Michael Friedrich Adams.
Primula zhui is a species of flowering plant within the family Primulaceae. The species was named in honour of Professor Zhu Hua of the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden. As of 2017 there were fewer than 50 individuals of the species recorded to exist, which lead to the IUCN to consider classifying it as a critically endangered species.
Paeonia coriacea, also known as the Andalusian peony, is a species of flowering plant within the family Paeoniaceae.
Primula daonensis is a species of Primula within the family Primulaceae.
Viola gracilis, also known as the Olympian violet, is a species of flowering plant within the family Violaceae.

Primula filipes is a species of flowering plant within the genus Primula and family Primulaceae.
Primula glutinosa, also known as the sticky primrose, is a species of flowering plant within the family Primulaceae.
Primula borealis, also known as the Northern primrose or slender primrose, is a species of flowering plant within the genus Primula and family Primulaceae. The species is a halophyte, inhabiting coastal saline habitats within subalpine and subarctic regions.
Primula clarkei is a species of flowering plant within the genus Primula and family Primulaceae. The species is endemic to the Western Himalayas, where it can be found in Poshiana of the Pir Panjal mountain range.
Primula wulfeniana, also known as Wulfen's primrose, is a species of flowering plant within the genus Primula and family Primulaceae.
Primula wollastonii, also known as Wollaston's primrose, is a species of flowering plant within the genus Primula and family Primulaceae. The species was first discovered and collected by A. F. Wollaston during an expedition to Mount Everest in 1921. The plant would later be scientifically described by Scottish botanist Isaac Bayley Balfour, who named the species P.Wollastonii after a request from Wollaston who had first discovered it.
