The true Oxlip (_Primula eliator_) is so like both the Primrose and
Cowslip that it has been by many supposed to be a hybrid between the
two. Sir Joseph Hooker, however, considers it a true species. It is a
handsome plant, but it is probably not the "bold Oxlip" of Shakespeare,
or the plant which is such a favourite in cottage gardens. The true
Oxlip (P. elatior of Jacquin) is an eastern counties' plant; while the
common forms of the Oxlip are hybrids between the Cowslip and Primrose.
