I presume these must come within Primula denticulata but I am far from certain as to the range of variation which exists within this species. A species which has been recorded from Afghanistan to SE Tibet (and Myanamar) @ 1500-4500m, variation is inevitable. Often hard to be sure about poorly developed forms or those in early growth.
It is entirely possible that in the future when the genus is revised, variants will be recognised at the sub-species or even species level. Richards has recognised Primula cachemiriana (syn. P.denticulata var. cachemiriana) as a separate species. Hooker observed that the species was very variable separating var. paucifolia.
