SUMMARY:
Notes on Primula populations with yellow, blue-purple, and white forms; whites show some variation, and all remain short and small-leaved as in specimens 3432–3436. Specimens 3449 and 3370 (alpicola luna) are compared, with 3449 resembling P. florindae or P. microdonta, P. sikkimensis present, and distributions between about 12,000–14,000 ft, with 3449 taking over at lower elevations than 3370.

tinged, a good many of the blue colours, and some nondescript
colours in between. But all these primulas seem to grow true
where they are really in mass, the yellow and blue purple showing
no variations, while the white shows some. All remain short
small leaved, just as were the specimens 3432-3-4-5-6.

alpicola luna
3449 (Same as 3353). This has now grown to a considerable height,
and appears to be very like P. florindae or P. microdonta. Alt. varies
from 12,000 to 13,000'. P. sikkimensis grows here too.

alpicola luna

  1. Altitude from 12,500' - 14,000', growing more on open hillside
    than 3449. No. 3449 more or less takes over at the low elevation
    of 3370.
