| What is worrying me is that POWO, Catalogue of Life and Flora of China, are not giving any distribution of this species (Primula nivalis Pall.) in India. However images look quite close from the images at Do you have any reference of it being found in India ?

Reply from Singh ji in another thread: Primula nivalis differs from P, macrophylla (which was previously placed under P. nivalis as a variety) in leaves with denticulate margin, and shorter leaves as against entire margin and longer leaves in Primula macrophylla. I don't think after separation of P. macrophylla and P. moorcroftiana, P. nivalis would be found in India. Any one having access to The Genus Primula L. in India : A Taxonomic Revision by S.K. Basak, G. Maiti & P.K. Hajra published in 2014 can confirm. |

Singh ji is quite correct. This is a rather broad-leaved form of P. macrophylla. P. nivalis has annulate flowers (constricted at the mouth) and acute corolla lobes. It is not found in India. John Richards
