Primula zhui is a species of flowering plant within the family Primulaceae. The species was named in honour of Professor Zhu Hua of the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden. [1] As of 2017 there were fewer than 50 individuals of the species recorded to exist, which lead to the IUCN to consider classifying it as a critically endangered species. [2]
Primula zhui is a perennial plant, which ranges in height from 12 to 20 cm tall. [1] This species has a basal rosette of leaves that are ovate to ovate-elliptic. [3] The petiole of the leaf ranges from 3–10 cm long. Flowers stand on stems, which possess sparse short glandular hairs. Each plant can host 8-15 distylous [3] flowers per stem. [1]
Primula zhui is native to South-Central China. [4] It is endemic to the province of Yunnan where the species has three different localities. [5] The three populations are located in Yixiang, Simao, Pu’er. [1]
P. zhui grows on the subtropical forest floors of evergreen broadleaf forests. [1]
