Primula from Arunchal Pradesh

[Tabish]

This Primula species was found at Bum La Pass, Arunachal Pradesh, at an altitude of 4,600 m. I had earlier assumed it to be Primula primulina, but that doesn't look like the right ID. Primula minutissima has also been suggested, but since there is a distinct flowering stem seen in the pictures, that doesn't seem to be the right id either.

  Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks, Tabish ji.

With these additional images, Dr. John may be able to help us better.

I am adding one more picture. I think the leaves seen in the other plants around it, may be the same species.

Thank you. I had not realised before that these pictures come from Arunachal Pradesh, so P. minutissima from extreme NW India, Baltistan etc is not possible. Unfortunately the leaves are not in focus. I suspect this may be P. walshii but I need to see scabridity. There is also the question whether flower colour is correctly reproduced. The flowers of P. walshii are pink. I think we cannot identify this plant without better pictures, my apologies. John

Primula walshii is also a virtually stemless plant during flowering. This plant has a distinct flowering stem.

The best match I could get is Primula stenocalyx

No it is not P. stenocalyx, a Chinese species I have seen in the wild and know well. John

Forwarding again for Id assistance please.

Some earlier relevant feedback:
