The term auricula is also used collectively for plants which have been developed from a hybrid between P. In the UK two National Collections of auriculas are held by Hillview Hardy Plants nursery, on a 1 acre (0.4 ha) plot in Worfield, Shropshire.
This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. lutea had been considered synonymous with P. auricula, with the former being found further south and east (Apennines, Carpathians, Balkans, and the southern and eastern Alps).

The specific epithet auricula means "ear-shaped", and refers to the shape of the leaves. The yellow flowers grow in clusters on 5–20 cm (2–8 in) long stalks. The leaves are obovate and stalkless, with a cartilaginous edge, all growing in a basal rosette, and sometimes covered in a mealy white bloom. It is an evergreen perennial growing to 20 cm (8 in) tall by 25 cm (10 in) wide. Primula auricula, often known as auricula, mountain cowslip or bear's ear (from the shape of its leaves), is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, that grows on basic rocks in the mountain ranges of central Europe, including the western Alps, Jura Mountains, the Vosges, the Black Forest and the Tatra Mountains.
