Cowslip, e.g. (8)

I believe the answer is:

primrose

(Other definitions for primrose that I've seen before include "Woodland plant with pale yellow flowers" , "Rip morse up to find the flower" , "Pale yellow- a primula" , "grows wild" , "Early spring flower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
