Primuloideae

Primuloideae is a subfamily of the family Primulaceae in the order Ericales.^[1] Formerly it represented the Primulaceae family (Primulaceae s.s.), before the latter was enlarged (Primulaceae s.l.) by addition of three other closely related families that formerly represented the order Primulales.
