.   Primula Sp ?? (28/06/2011 – NSJ-01):
Primula Sp ?? for ID Location Gulmarg Hill-Top Yes nearest Match is Primula rosea. More pics of leaves may clarify further Definitely Primula rosea.

Plant for ID from Paddar valley Kishtwar J&K: 121111 SRANA 01: 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=200017217 I 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 For me the posted plant is Primula rosea Must surely be Primula rosea but does look rather odd.!

Yes one of the smaller species of genus, leaves are barely emerging when it starts flowering.
