The New Year is a good time to reflect on what is new in Primula. There have only been a couple of new Chinese species discovered this year:
 |
| Primula zhui (by H. B. Ding) - from the original publication |
Primula centellifolia G.Hao & Y.Xu - Similar to Primula scopulicola, a species described last year, but with smaller stature, slender scape and a calyx with linear lanceolate and obtuse lobes. From Sichuan and Guizhou.
Primula zhui Y.H.Tan & B.Yang - A new member of Section Carolinella from SW Yunnan. It most closely resembles P. intanoensis, a species from Thailand, and was also compared with P. calyptrata in the original description.
Happy New Year and Best Wishes to All in 2018!
