Primula Rediscovered

Primula bracteata and Primula bullata are found in their type locations after 125 years.

Near Lhasa, Tibet

How do you tell the difference between P. tibetica and P. fasciculata?

Primula ambita in the Wild

The first ever cultivated plant caused a stir at Chelsea earlier this year.

New Primula Book

The latest Primula book is a revision of the 106 species of Primula found in India.

Recent New Primula Species (2017)

The New Year is a good time to reflect on what is new in Primula. There have only been a couple of new Chinese species discovered this year:
Primula zhui (by H. B. Ding) - from the original publication
Primula centellifolia G.Hao & Y.Xu - Similar to Primula scopulicola, a species described last year, but with smaller stature, slender scape and a calyx with linear lanceolate and obtuse lobes. From Sichuan and Guizhou.

Primula zhui Y.H.Tan & B.Yang - A new member of Section Carolinella from SW Yunnan. It most closely resembles P. intanoensis, a species from Thailand, and was also compared with P. calyptrata in the original description. 


Happy New Year and Best Wishes to All in 2018!
