Thanks, Richards ji and Pam ji. On digging further, I think this is the same plant as discussed in the post at Gori Valley Tour: Primula for identification.. <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/indiantreepix/6nqzl6l5i2o> (Pl. click this link to see the details). At that time, you have tentatively written as "It is unusual to find *P. gracilipes* flowering in the autumn. If the whole population is flowering freely then, maybe this is a new autumn-flowering form of *P. gracilipes*, as is found in *P. boothii*. Probably it deserves a new name at lower rank."
