报春花科共有24属大约1000余种,在全球广泛分布,尤其以北半球为多,中国有11属约700余种,主要产于西部地区。克朗奎斯特分类法单独列出一个报春花目,2003年的APG II 分类法根据基因亲缘关系将多个目合并,报春花目被合并到杜鹃花目中。有多种栽培观赏花卉,也有部分是中药种类。 目录 1 形态 2 生態學 3 分类 4 腳註 5 参考文献 形态 大部分为一年生或多年生草本,偶尔有半灌木。茎直立或匍匐。 叶互生、对生或轮生,有时没有地上茎而叶全部基生形成莲座叶丛,全缘,或具齿或有各式分裂。 花单生或组成总状、伞形或穗状花序,花两性,辐射对称,花萼通常5裂,宿存;花冠下部合生成筒状,上部通常5裂;雄蕊或多或少贴于花冠之上,与花冠裂片同数而对生;花丝分离或下部连合;子房上位、一室,花柱单一,胚珠通常多数,生育独立的中央胎座上。 蒴果通常5齿裂或瓣裂,稀盖裂;种子小,有棱角,常为盾状。 生態學 分佈於歐亞地區的蜆蝶蝶類在幼蟲期常以這類植物作寄主[1]。 分类 点地梅属 Androsace L.

The Primulaceae ( ), commonly known as the primrose family (but not related to the evening primrose family), are a family of herbaceous and woody flowering plants including some favourite garden plants and wildflowers. Most are perennial though some species, such as scarlet pimpernel, are annuals.

Previously one of three families in the order Primulales, it underwent considerable generic re-alignment once molecular phylogenetic methods were used for taxonomic classification. The order was then submerged in a much enlarged order Ericales and became a greatly enlarged Primulaceae sensu lato (s.l). In this new classification of the Angiosperm Phylogeny Group, each of the Primulales families was reduced to the rank of subfamily of Primulaceae s.l. The original Primulaceae (Primulaceae sensu stricto or s.s.) then became subfamily Primuloideae, and one genus (Maesa) was raised to the rank of a separate subfamily, making four in all.
