unknown primula
« on: April 23, 2008, 02:25:20 AM »
This primula is in the collection at our botanical garden, labelled as flagellaris.  The leaves appear too smooth margins for that species.  The leaves are actually quite glandular.  Anyone recognize it?

From the foliage it looks like something in the auricula group. Flagellaris is (I think) a petiolarid species. Or am I thinking of something else altogether?  :-[ :-\  :-[

no idea what is is but it has nice flowers! Leaves look like auricula/hirsuta flowers something from minima or tyrolensis.

Is it fertile? You don´t happen to know the origin?

Todd, do you have access to 'Primula' by John Richards? If not let me know and I will quote what he says about Primula flagellaris.

Looks like Integrifolia, but maybe not.

I'm tending towards a minima type hybrid...it is certainly in the hirsuta group....the leaves are not quite tootheds enough for minima but the flowers are nearly stemless..I'll have to check the records at work...most of the primula came from SRGS seed back in the early '80's but others came a now defunked alpine nursery in British Columbia.
