Yes this seems to fit well what *was* known as *Primula edgeworthii*. For some years I have known it as *P.nana* but that does not seem to be an accepted name in 'The Plant List' so must check the current nomenclature - *unless anyone can tell me?*
Regardless of the current name, this species is known from Himachal Pradesh through Uttarakhand to Central Nepal. Moist woods, especially near water @ 2000-3700m.
