- Motion reference: S4M-05445
That the Parliament considers that Primula Scotica, or Scottish primrose, is as an iconic feature of the landscape of the north of Scotland, most notably in Orkney; believes that this species faces many challenges, but that it remains a symbol of Scotland’s resilient ecosystem; commends Plantlife Scotland for championing Scottish primrose and what are considered other important species; welcomes the production by Plantlife Scotland of new guides for landowners and land managers looking to protect this and other varieties of flora, and wishes it well in its efforts to promote its work, including an event in the Parliament on 24 January 2013.
