Primula Genus is represented within “Alexandru Beldie” Herbarium by 30 different taxa (21 species and 9 intraspecific units) kept in very good conditions, with some of them included even on the Red List of superior plants from Romania. The purpose of this present paper was to understand the present situation of the Primula L. genus, as well as to create a short description of its main species. The analyzed material was composed of 180 vouchers harvested between 1844-1982, mostly from Romania. The collection was developed by both experts as well as exchanges with specialized national and international institutions.
