Primulaceae belongs to the order Ericales.
The Primulaceae is a diverse family of flowering plants that includes herbaceous perennials, annuals, shrubs, and small trees. These plants are found across temperate and alpine regions, often growing in moist meadows, forest edges, and stream banks. Members of the family typically have simple leaves, five-parted tubular flowers, and produce dry fruits. Many species are cultivated for their ornamental value, while others are used in traditional medicine or as ground cover.
A well-known example is Lysimachia nummularia, commonly called creeping Jenny or moneywort. Native to Europe and western Asia, it is a low-growing perennial with rounded, coin-like leaves and yellow flowers that bloom in summer. The plant spreads rapidly by rooting at stem nodes, forming dense mats in moist soils. It is often used as a ground cover in gardens and pond margins, or in containers and hanging baskets for its trailing habit and bright foliage.
