Family Primulaceae

Family Primulaceae

Most flowers in the Primrose Family (Primulaceae) have five petals and five stamens which are attached at the centre of a petal base rather than being arranged alternately with the petals as they are in most flowers with five petals. Leaves of primroses are of a simple undivided shape. Because most of their flowers are fairly large and attractive, primroses are often grown as ornamental plants. [CH] {GW}
