Primula nutans, also known as the sleepy primrose, is a species of flowering plant belonging to the family Primulaceae. [1]
Primula nutans is a perennial plant species. [2] Plants possess green, sub-orbicular leaf blades. Leaves are around 2.5cm long with narrow petioles. Flowers are hosted on stalks, which stand tall above the leaves. Blooms can range from 2 - 8 flowers per plant. Petals are pale pink, however the colour shifts from white and then yellow towards the centre of the flower. Flowers range in diameter from 12 - 16mm. [3]
Primula nutans native range is spread from the subarctic to the Himalayas. [1] It can be found within both Europe and Asia within the countries of: China, Finland, Norway, Nepal, Sweden, Mongolia, Russia, Kazakhstan and Pakistan. [1] The species can also be found in the Canadian territory of Yukon and US state of Alaska. It was originally native to British Columbia, but it is now locally extinct. [1]
Primula nutans inhabits habitats such as wet meadows, [3] marshes and coastal refuges. [2] It can also be found growing in areas where glacial movement has created moraine habitats or rocky outwash plains. [3]
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 vulgaris, the common primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, native to western and southern Europe, northwest Africa, and parts of southwest Asia. The common name is primrose, or occasionally common primrose or English primrose to distinguish it from other Primula species also called primroses. None of these are closely related to the evening primroses.
Primula scotica, commonly known as Scottish primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the family, Primulaceae, the primroses and their relatives. It was first described by James Smith, and is endemic to the north coast of Scotland.
Primula meadia, the shooting star or eastern shooting star, is a species of flowering plant in the primrose family Primulaceae. It is native to the eastern United States and Canada, spanning north from Manitoba and New York, south to Texas and Florida.
Primula pauciflora, the pretty shooting star, few-flowered shooting star, dark throat shooting star or prairie shooting star, is a species of flowering plant in the primula family Primulaceae. It is a widespread and very variable species, native to western North America, from Subarctic America to Mexico, often in xeric and desert habitats. It is found in the Great Basin Deserts and Mojave Desert. Its synonyms include Dodecatheon pauciflorum and Dodecatheon pulchellum.
Primula conjugens, synonym Dodecatheon conjugens, is a species of flowering perennial plant in the primrose family, known by the common name Bonneville shooting star.
Primula latiloba, synonyms Dodecatheon dentatum and Dodecatheon latilobum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, known by the common names white shooting star and toothed American cowslip.
Persoonia terminalis, also known as the Torrington geebung, is a shrub belonging to the family Proteaceae, and native to northern New South Wales and southern Queensland in eastern Australia. Reported as a subspecies of Persoonia nutans in 1981, it was described as a species by Lawrie Johnson and his colleague Peter Weston in 1991.
Primula stricta, also known as the strict primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae.
Primula scandinavica is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae.
Primula algida is a species of flowering plant within the family Primulaceae. This species was first described by Michael Friedrich Adams.
Primula aureata is a species of flowering plant from the family Primulaceae.
Kniphofia × praecox, also known as Kniphofia praecox or the greater red-hot poker is a species of flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae.
Primula daonensis is a species of Primula within the family Primulaceae.
Primula heucherifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae.
Primula boveana, also known as the Sinai primrose, is a species of flowering plant within the family Primulaceae. The species was named in honour of botanist and plant collector Nicolas Bové.
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 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 exhibition 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.
