The Primrose Family, Primulaceae: The primrose family's scientific name was derived from the term "prime rose" applied to certain flowers—daisies primroses, and others—that bloomed early in the spring.
Most of the Primulaceae—a family that consists of about 25 genera, and some 800 species—have radially symmetrical flowers whose five petals often join for part or all of their length into a tube.
Sub-alpine and alpine Primulaceae are found in all of the mountain ranges of the northern hemisphere.

 Primulaceae (Primrose Family)
Members of Primulaceae are nearly all herbaceous (lacking a woody stem) plants with simple leaves that are either basal (at the base of the stem), distributed along the stem, or in a single whorl.
Trientalis latifolia (Pacific Starflower), found on Montara Mountain, can be easily grown from seed in the garden, but propagates so aggressively through underground stems that it may become more of a bother than an asset.
(It's always nice to see a native that acts as aggressive as the aliens.) Our other common representative of Primulaceae is the everpresent invasive Anagallis arvenis, or Scarlet Pimpernel.

 Angiosperm Families - Primulaceae Vent.
After analysing a combination of nucleic acid sequences from the chloroplast genes rbcL, ndhF andatpB, Källersjö et al (2000) support earlier claims that Primulaceae and Myrsinaceae as traditionally circumscribed are paraphyletic, with (e.g.) Anagallis, Ardisiandra, Coris, Lysimachia and Trientalis belonging in myrsinaceous rather than primulaceous clades.
Rather than merging all the genera into one supposedly monophyletc family, Anderberg et al (2000) propose raising Maesa to family rank, and adjusting the contents of Myrsinaceae and Primulaceae.
