Primula egaliksensis
Greenland primrose is a small, low-growing Arctic and subarctic perennial in the primrose family, with pale blue flowers. Its key to growing is cool, moist conditions, such as the damp meadows, stream banks and peat bogs it naturally favours.
Primula egaliksensis, the Greenland primrose, also called Primula groenlandica, is a flower from the genus Primula. It was first documented by Morten Wormskjold and Jens Wilken Hornemann in 1813 while Wormskjold was on an expedition to Greenland. The flower is primarily found in Greenland and the northern part of North America. The Greenland primrose was also discovered in Iceland in 1911.
