I would like to tell (I may be wrong) that out of the genera listed here, perhaps we have only two represented in Western Himalayas and Northern India..
Myrsine and Maesa..
Experts may correct me ..

Anagallis arvensis
Anagallis pumila
Primula: Many sp.
Thanks … This family is well represented in Himalayas..
I have updated all eFI (efloraofindia) genera pages on Primulaceae.
Attempts have been made to incorporate most of the species available in India & nearby areas with details & keys directly or through links as far as possible. It’s quite possible that there may be some discrepancy in the accepted names & synonyms taken from other links.
Species discussed so far in efloraofindia are given at the bottom of the genera pages in the form of links against Subpages. On clicking them one can see all the details.
Any comments/ corrections are welcome.
Species, genus & family pages of Primulaceae are now with comparative images:
Species, genus & family pages of Primulaceae are now with comparative images. On clicking the link of species, one can check the complete details. Genus pages generally give details of most of the species found in India.
May I request you to pl. go through & point out mistakes, if any. I hope this will aid in identification in future. If anybody can send images of other species of this family (for incorporation in the website), if any, or can identify unidentified/ wrongly identified images, it will be really nice.
