To lay a foundation for the scientific evaluation of the ornamental traits of Primulina, 40 species of the Primulina were used as the experimental materials. The analytical hierarchy process was applied and four first-level indicators including foliage traits, flower traits, plant characteristics and cultivation performance to construct the constraint hierarchy were selected, then 14 secondary indexes including leaf shape, leaf pattern, leaf color, flower color and pattern, corolla size, flower quantity, flowering period, leaf arrangement, plant type compactness, peduncle shape, cultivation difficulty, pest and disease were selected to construct a comprehensive evaluation system for the ornamental traits of Primulina. The results showed that among the four first-level indexes, the weight of cultivation performance was 34.0%, which is the highest, followed by plant characteristics (26.6%), flower traits (24.0%), and foliag traits (15.4%). Among the 14 second-level indexes, the weight of cultivation difficulty, peduncle shape, leaf pattern and leaf arrangement on the ornamental value of Primulina all exceeded 10.0%. The weight of cultivation difficulty was 17.2%, which is a key indicator affecting the ornamental value of Primulina. According to the established scoring criteria, 40 species of Primulina were assigned, combined with the weight to calculate the scores, and divided into three grades: Grade Ⅰ (score over 3.5), 10 species with high ornamental value; Grade Ⅱ (score 3.0-3.5), 20 species with medium ornamental value; Grade Ⅲ (score below 3.0), 10 species with low ornamental value. Among them, the species rated as high ornamental value (Grade Ⅰ) are: P. Cleopatra, P. Snow Angel, P. guizhongensis, P. Stardust, P. qintangensis, P. Blue Mood, P. liujiangensis, P. hochiensis var. rosulata, P. Flying Wings and P. macrorhiza, these 10 species of Primulina are easy to cultivate and have outstanding performance in flower viewing, foliage and plant types, which can be used as excellent hybrid parents to participate in breeding, and can also be directly promoted to the market; the species classified as low ornamental value (Grade Ⅲ) are often difficult to cultivate, with poor stress resistance, and peduncle shape are poor, lack of characteristic flower color and pattern. The 40 species of Primulina are divided into 5 categories according to their ornamental values by cluster analysis, and the species with complementary traits can be selected as parents to produce better hybrid varieties.
