You occasionally find these hybrids between the P.veris (Cowslip) and the P. vulgaris (Primrose) where the parents grow reasonably near together. This isn't as often as you might think because the Cowslip is a plant of the meadow and open hillside while Primroses grow in woods or partial shade, often under hedges or on banks in shade. They tend not to grow near each other that often.
Identification isn't really a problem - the hybrid looks like a primrose on a stalk. The flowers point in any old direction but do appear to have anthers. It looks nothing like a true Oxlip which in any case only grow in a few woods in East Anglia. The hybrid between the genuine Oxlip and the Primrose is quite common in such woods and is similar in some respects to this hybrid but the flowers are more regularly spaced on the stem.
