Plant for ID from Paddar valley Kishtwar J&K: 121111 SRANA 01: Request for Identification Date : 14th June 2011 Location: Paddar valley district Kishtwar J&K Altitude: 3845 meters asl Plant habit/habitat: Wild herb Plant height: 10-20 cm Flower about 3-8 in a umbel. Perhaps Primula rosea Would it be Primula dryadifolia? Primula dryadifolia is not a W. Himalayan species When i run the key with the provided visible characters I reached Primula dryadifolia http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200017217I didnt check the distribution and a recheck created doubt in me on my id as pointed out Primula dryadifolia doesnt have yellow throat instead a deep purple throat. Thanks for the correction sir. Good learning of W. Himalayan plants. Is P. rosea has entire or serrated leaves? Serrate, and mostly appear after the flowers
Besides it does not have a yellow throat. It is P. rosea as you suggested http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=250081124 Leaves are crenulate to denticulate in P. rosea and the corolla throat is yellow. For me the posted plant is Primula rosea Must surely be Primula rosea but does look rather odd.!

Well-known to be common around and above Gulmarg. Other sources say found in what was Garwhal. I agree with ... that it is not P.dryadifolia (nothing like) a species which is very widespread in the high mountains of Yunnan & western Sichuan not the NW Himalaya. Always been ultra cautious when using keys (do not know which key) and check if the species you end up with makes sense distribution or altitude-wise. If it does not then double and triple check. Coming up with keys is an imperfect science and much depends on the knowledge and experience of those using them to interpret the descriptions.
