Chinese Primrose (Primula Sinensis) is an illustration that captures the splendor of this primrose variety with its delicate flowers and elegant leaves. Pierre-Joseph Redouté, the famous 18th-century botanical illustrator, demonstrates his talent for capturing the grace and beauty of plants through his engravings.
In the publication dated 1827 from which the plate is taken, the detail of this illustration is given as follows:
(Primula prœnitens Ker. - P. sinensis Lindl.) It was in 1820 that this charming species of Primrose was received, which today decorates the temperate greenhouses of European gardens. It was first published under the name Primula sinensis, which was not preserved because there is another species of this name described by Loureiro. It has produced several varieties, of which the white-flowered one is the most remarkable.
