Family: Primulaceae
Common name: False Oxlip
Scientific name: Primula vulgaris x veris = P. x polyantha
Date taken: 1/4/2023
Notes: Hybrid between Primrose (P. vulgaris) and Cowslip (P. veris). Like Cowslip, multiple flowers are found on the same flower stalk, but the plants are larger and corolla on flowers are spreading like that in Oxlip (P. elatior). Unlike the Oxlip, however, flowers are a darker shade of yellow, has orange speckles on corolla. Also differs from both the Cowslip and the Oxlip by having flowers pointing to different directions, but this is sometimes difficult to judge if the population is small.
