Primula carniolica is a flowering plant in the primrose family known by the common name Carniolan primrose. It is endemic to Slovenia.
It grows to a height of NaNcm (-2,147,483,648inches) and is typically NaNcm (-2,147,483,648inches) broad. The stem, base and leaves are clear green, fleshy and lack the coating that can be seen in some other primroses. The flowers are NaNmm across and a mild red, rose or purple pink in colour. They give away fragrance and have a slight coating of white particles in the throat. The plant flowers between April and May.[1] [2]
Its range is limited to an area of approximately 5000km2 in the Slovenian regions of Upper, Lower and Inner Carniola,[1] as well as the Slovene Littoral,[3] including on the Trnovo Forest Plateau and in the Iška River gorge.[1] Within its range the plant grows on north-facing wet limestone cliffs, ravines and meadows at an altitude of NaNm (-2,147,483,648feet).[2]
It has been a protected species in Slovenia since 1922 and it is consequentially forbidden to pick the flowers.[1] Primula carniolica is rarely cultivated.[2]
