Primulaceae

Primulaceae is a family of flowering plants that includes primroses, cyclamens, and loosestrifes. Its members are placed in the order Ericales.

Primula: A genus of flowering plants that includes primroses and cowslips. This is the family’s namesake genus and one of its largest lineages.
Carl Linnaeus: A Swedish botanist who established the binomial system of naming species. His plant classifications helped establish the early framework for naming primroses.
Primrose cultivation: The horticultural growing and breeding of plants in the genus Primula. Primula species and hybrids are widely grown for ornamental flowers.
Ericaceae: A family of flowering plants that includes heathers, rhododendrons, and blueberries. It is a neighboring family within Ericales and shares the same broad order.
Cyclamen: A genus of tuberous flowering plants native mainly to Europe and the Mediterranean region. Cyclamens are a familiar ornamental lineage within the family.
APG IV system: The 2016 classification of flowering plants produced by the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group. This system places the modern, expanded Primulaceae within Ericales.
Cyclamen persicum: A Mediterranean species cultivated worldwide as a flowering houseplant. This species is the principal source of commercial florist’s cyclamen.
Theaceae: A family of flowering plants that includes tea plants and camellias. Theaceae is another major family in the order Ericales.
Lysimachia: A genus of flowering plants that includes yellow loosestrifes and creeping Jenny. Many plants called loosestrifes belong to this genus in Primulaceae.
Molecular phylogenetics: The study of evolutionary relationships using DNA and other molecular data. DNA evidence drove the merger of several formerly separate families into Primulaceae.
