Plants having different forms at different seasons, or
making leaves and flowers at different seasons is a
problem. The petiolarid primulas Primula edgeworthii and
Primula nana are the same plant but were described as
distinct species because the winter and summer foliage is
completely different, and each author hadn't seen the
other 'form'.
