These hybrids are a bit if a mish-mash.....  I have seen P. x steinii as P. X forsteri f. steinii (P. hirsuta X P. minima)  as in this Primula World page:
http://www.primulaworld.com/pwweb/gallery/slides/XsteiniiMI1.html

Check the pictures back and forth of this one to see other hybrids. I'm sorry, I cannot find the source page for the hybrids on the PW site, only this link to a mid-way sequence.

Primula x forsteri = P. hirsuta x P. minima

Primula x forsteri forma kelleri for plants close to hirsuta
Primula x forsteri forma steinii  for plants of intermediate form
Primula x forsteri forma bilekii for plants close to minima

there are more data in  PRIMULAS OF EUROPE & AMERIKA

Thanks. In fact it is very nice at this point but it doesn't improve with age.
