The Primulaceae are a family of herbaceous flowering plants with about 24 genera, including some favorite garden plants and wildflowers, commonly known as the primrose family. Most Primulaceae are perennial though some species, such as scarlet pimpernel,[2] are annuals.[3]
Genera
- Androsace L. (syn. Douglasia, Vitaliana) – rock jasmine, rock-jasmine, rockjasmine
- Bryocarpum Hook. f. & Thomson
- Cortusa L.
- Dionysia Fenzl
- Dodecatheon L. – shooting star, shootingstar
- Hottonia L. – hottonia
- Kaufmannia Regel
- Omphalogramma (Franch.) Franch.
- Pomatosace Maxim.
- Primula L. – primrose, cowslip, oxlip
- Soldanella L. – snowbells
- Stimpsonia C.Wright ex A.Gray
Genera included in Myrsinaceae
These genera, traditionally included in Primulaceae, should, according to Källersjö et al. (2000), belong to the family Myrsinaceae:
- Anagallis L. – anagallis, scarlet pimpernel
- Ardisiandra Hook. f.
- Asterolinon Hoffmans. & Link.
- Badula Juss.
- Samolus L. – brookweed, waterpimpernel
- Coris L.
- Cyclamen L. – cyclamen
- Glaux L. – sea milkwort
- Lysimachia L. – loosestrife, yellow loosestrife, yellow pimpernel
- Pelletiera A. St.-Hil.
- Trientalis L.
In the APG III system, the Myrsinaceae were not recognized, but were sunk into Primulaceae, which in that system is circumscribed very broadly.[1]
