For the botanists ~ The words are from Gray's Manual of Botany ~ I had the entire botany class marching along singing this song while on a field trip. Oh well,at least I still remember the characteristics of the family Primulaceae. To the tune The Ants Go Marching One by One Herbs with opposite or whorled leaves Hurrah, Hurrah Flowers five merous the petals united Hurrah, Hurrah Stamens five and opposite the petals, Ovary superior, placentation free central, And the fruit is a capsule in Primulaceae.
