Key Points

The aim is to clarify the nomenclature of five Primula species by designating lectotypes.
Designated lectotypes for five specific names in the Primula genus.
Ensured proper taxonomic classification for clarity in botanical research.
Five names received lectotypification to stabilize their taxonomic status.
Names include P. obliqua, P. pulchra, P. petiolaris var. scapigera, P. smithiana, and P. vaginata.

Implication

Lectotypification designates types for names in the Primula genus, clarifying botanical nomenclature.

Abstract

Lectotypes are designated for five names in Primula: P. obliqua W.W.Sm., P. pulchra G.Watt, Primula petiolaris var. scapigera Hook.f. (basionym of P. scapigera (Hook.f.) Craib), P. smithiana Craib, and P. vaginata G.Watt.
