David,
The leaves are totally different to P.flaccida.
They have a pale green glossy upper surface, and a felty undersurface with farina.
Note the subliminal advertising for a well known Scottish nursery!!!

Flowering today in the woodland garden- the plant I have always grown as Primula cortusoides. I have been growing it from it's own seed, for nearly 20 years now. The original was from Chilterns Seed- so forgive me if it is misnamed.

The grey leaves with the lemon yellow of the flower head of this primula held so high are really outstanding - I imagine it likes full sun and would love to grow it here?
