Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="curt12085-abs-0001"> <title>Summary</title> <p id="curt12085-para-0001"> <italic>Primula coelata</italic> Stapf is illustrated and a full description and typification are provided. Rediscovery of <italic>Primula bullata</italic> Franch. and <italic>P. bracteata</italic> Franch. in their type localities and analysis of herbarium specimens, living plants, historical documents and photographic data for the whole of <italic>Primula</italic> L. section <italic>Bullatae</italic> Pax have clarified the relationships between taxa. The whole section is revised. <italic>P. bracteata</italic> is restricted to plants conforming to Franchet's original concept, and becomes a variety of <italic>P. bullata</italic>, along with vars. <italic>bullata</italic> and <italic>forrestii</italic>. <italic>P. coelata</italic> is shown to be a valid name for one mat‐forming species, the other one being <italic>P. rockii</italic>. <italic>P. henrici</italic>, with a cushion habit, has been reinstated as a distinct species.</p> </abstract>
