Genus of plants that includes auricula, cowslip and oxlip (7)

I believe the answer is:

primula

(Other definitions for primula that I've seen before include "Air plum, oddly, from this plant" , "Flowering plant" , "Cowslip genus" , "Cowslip relative" , "Cowslip, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
