"Primula florindae", also known as the giant cowslip, is a native of southeastern Tibet, where it grows in huge numbers close to rivers like the Tsangpo.

It has clusters of 20–40 yellow bell-like flowers which hang from stalks up to 90–120 cm high, and a basal rosette of 5–20 cm long leaves.

It was first collected in 1924 by Frank Kingdon-Ward and was named after his wife Florinda.

This plant grows best in very moist conditions as its home is the margins of rivers. It is cold-hardy as long as its roots are not allowed to dry out. It is usually available from larger or specialist garden centres.
