Primula firmipes or florindae
«

I have a small yellow primula a year old that has just come in to flower and is label-less. The next pot to it is labelled P. Firmipes, but I do have other pots labelled P. Florindae. It's a very juvenile plant, but is there some characteristic that I can identify it between these two.
Thanks, Rob

Here are links to the two in the flora of China online, Rob.
They are both in the section Sikkimensis but firmipes is a neat little thing and florindae can be a real giant.
Even juvenile florindae foliage tends to be pretty "beefy".
P, firmipes is a gentle yellow whereas florindae can be pale, strong yeloow, orange or red tones and just about everything inbetween.

My problem too. My first
Primula firmipes
was certainly the robust
Primula florindae
.
But the new plant is finer and flowers now, or has flowered for two weeks now.
Because I possess no digital camera, it is necessary to be patient.

Thanks Maggi and GM - P. Firmipes it is for the moment
With the comment that even juvenile Florindae leaves are easy to spot, Firmipes it most likely is.

Maggi,
I possess no digital camera, it is a scanned colour print. During scanning
I realized the low quality of images and therefore returned the film
and images to the laboratory. In reality I ordered Kodak prints and
obtained Fujicolor prints which are not faithful. Now I await
the results of my complaint. Leaves are on the film.
