 Heterostyly in Primula veris (University of Paisley: Biodiversity Reference)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
This page currently deals with one such species, the Cowslip (Primula veris), a plant of pastures and short turf on well-drained, often lime-rich soils, still locally common in England but rarer and mainly coastal here in Scotland, though sometimes supplemented by misguided local planting or inappropriate use of 'wildflower' seed.
It has suffered local declines and extinctions due to habitat loss and we have just one surviving population here in the Paisley area, native or long-established on a railway embankment.
Since thrum × thrum crosses cannot occur (or rarely so in the Cowslip, not at all in the related Primrose), thrums are heterozygous GPA/gpa, whereas pins are homozygous recessives, gpa/gpa.
