Candelabra Primrose
The name candelabra primula or candelabra primrose refers to species and cultivars of ''Primula'' section ''Proliferae'' (formerly ''Candelabra''), originating mainly in the far east. They are characterised by whorls of flowers formed in circles at intervals around strong vertical stems, in many brilliant colours, flowering over a long period from Spring to Summer. They are popular ornamental subjects for moist, heavy, neutral or acidic soil. They associate well with other plants, such as rhododendrons, which enjoy similar conditions. *'' Primula aurantiaca'' *''Primula bulleyana'' (including ''Primula beesiana'') *'' Primula burmanica'' *''Primula chungensis'' *''Primula cockburniana'' *''Primula cooperi'' *''Primula japonica'' *''Primula mallophylla'' *''Primula melanodonta'' *''Primula miyabeana'' *''Primula poissonii'' *''Primula polonensis'' *''Primula prenantha'' *''Primula prolifera'' (including ''Primula helodoxa'') *''Primula pulverulenta'' *''Primula secundiflora'' *''P ...

Primula Melanodonta
''Primula'' () is a genus of herbaceous flowering plants in the family Primulaceae. They include the primrose ('' P. vulgaris''), a familiar wildflower of banks and verges. Other common species are '' P. auricula'' (auricula), '' P. veris'' (cowslip), and '' P. elatior'' (oxlip). These species and many others are valued for their ornamental flowers. They have been extensively cultivated and hybridised (in the case of the primrose, for many hundreds of years). ''Primula'' are native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere, south into tropical mountains in Ethiopia, Indonesia, and New Guinea, and in temperate southern South America. Almost half of the known species are from the Himalayas. ''Primula'' has over 500 species in traditional treatments, and more if certain related genera are included within its circumscription.''Primula''. ...
