Primula zhui is a species of flowering plant within the family Primulaceae. The species was named in honour of Professor Zhu Hua of the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden. As of 2017 there were fewer than 50 individuals of the species recorded to exist, which lead to the IUCN to consider classifying it as a critically endangered species.

The petiole of the leaf ranges from 3–10 cm long. Flowers stand on stems, which possess sparse short glandular hairs. Each plant can host 8-15 distylous flowers per stem.
