"Primula farinosa", the bird's-eye primrose, is a small perennial plant in the family Primulaceae, native to northern Europe and northern Asia, and (rarely) further south at high altitudes in the mountains of southern Europe.

This small, arctic-alpine primrose grows from 3-20 cm in height. The leaves are 2-10 cm long and 1-2 cm broad, smooth on top, powdery-white on the underside. The violet-blue flowers appear in early spring, and often in clusters when the plant is older.
