Jussieu's families were the Lysimachiae, including Primula and Theophrasta [14] and the Sapotae, including Myrsine, these being the three main lineages in modern understanding. [ 15 ] The most complete treatment of the Primulaceae family , with nearly 1,000 species arranged into 22 genera , was by Pax and Knuth in 1905 in the Engler system .

[1] [2] Examples of distylous plants are the primrose and many other Primula species, [1] [2] buckwheat, flax and other Linum species, some Lythrum species, [3] and many species of Cryptantha.

In the classification system of Dahlgren the Primulales were in the superorder Primuliflorae (also called Primulanae).
