Primula lutea

Primula lutea is a species of primrose that grows on basic rocks in the mountain ranges of western Alps, Jura, Vosges, Black Forest and Tatra mountains. The leaves are obovate and stalkless, with a cartilaginous edge, all growing in a basal rosette. The yellow flowers grow in clusters on 5–20 cm long stalks.

In the past it was considered synonymous with the very similar Primula auricula, but a recent study split this species off from P. auricula, with the latter being found in the more southerly areas (southern and eastern Alps, southern Carpathians, Apennines, and the Balkans).
