Primula vulgaris Huds.

Jarvis, Charlie, 2007, Chapter 7: Linnaean Plant Names and their Types (part P), Order out of Chaos. Linnaean Plant Types and their Types, London: Linnaean Society of London in association with the Natural History Museum, pp. 718-782 : 769

Primula acaulis (Linnaeus) Linnaeus , Flora Anglica: 12. 1754, nom. inval.

Type not relevant.

Current name: Primula vulgaris Huds. ( Primulaceae ).

Note: Greuter (in Candollea 44: 566. 1989) argued that this is a new combination made by Linnaeus in 1754, and therefore pre-dating the usual name for the primrose, P. vulgaris Huds. However, Brummitt & Meikle (in Watsonia 19: 181-183. 1993) argued that there are typographical variants of the thesis which make it unreasonable to interpret this as a new combination.
