Primula veris
''Primula veris'' (cowslip, common cowslip cowslip primrose; syn. ''Primula officinalis'' Hill) is a flowering plant in the genus ''Primula'' of the family Primulaceae. The species is native throughout most of temperate Europe and Asia, and although absent from more northerly areas including much of northwest Scotland, it reappears in northernmost Sutherland and Orkney and in Scandinavia. This species frequently hybridizes with other ''Primulas'' such as ''Primula vulgaris'' to form false oxslip (''Primula × polyantha'') which is often confused with true oxslip (''Primula elatior''), a much rarer plant. Botanists have found at least twenty-five of these hybrid-forms in the Austrian Alps.
== Names ==
The common name ''cowslip'' may derive from the old English for cow dung, probably because the plant was often found growing amongst the manure in cow pastures. An alternative derivation simply refers to slippery or boggy ground; again, a typical habitat for this plant.
The species name ''vēris'' means "of spring". However, this is not the first primula to flower, being preceded by the primrose ''P. vulgaris''.
Other folk names include cuy lippe, herb peter, paigle, peggle, key flower, key of heaven, fairy cups, petty mulleins, crewel, buckles, palsywort, plumrocks, tittypines.〔(Cowslip ), from ''A Modern Herbal''〕
