Definitely Primula rosea. Stewart found this to be common & gregarious on high meadows in wet soil & melting snow in Kashmir @ 2700-3600. A fine rosy pink - though forms occur from white to pillar-box (in UK) red. Flowers of Himalaya say damp places, snow melts & streamsides from Pakistan to Himachal Pradesh. I have seen in commonly on Rohtang but not in flower - typically June to August.
Well-known to be common around and above Gulmarg. Other sources say found in what was Garwhal. On Friday, June 13, 2014 at 12:52:07 PM UTC+1, Dr Pankaj Kumar wrote: > Primula rosea Royle Ill. Bot.
