SUMMARY:
Field notes list several Primula specimens with remarks on identification and variability, including doubt about P. hopeana subsp. pudibunda and variable P. aff. dryadifolia in S.E. Tibet. Localities noted include Younger-la and Miri-la (mid-August) and Kyabden on the Nyang Chu, where P. petrocharis (walshii) lacked flowers; additional records at Kyabden include Cyananthus, Gentiana, Habenaria, and Neottianthe species.
CONTENT:
-
Primula capitata subsp. crispata. Fairly common. Rather a poor form.
-
Primula hopeana? subsp. pudibunda. I doubt if this is the true P. Hopeana.
-
Primula aff. dryadifolia. Seems very variable in S.E. Tibet, the scapes varying in length & sometimes bearing only one flower, sometimes 2 or 3.
-
Primula aff. macrocarpa. Younger-la 23 Aug. - Miri-la - Aug 15. Same probably as 6061. See note under that number.
-
Primula petrocharis (walshii). Kyabden, Nyang Chu 23 Aug. Common here, but no flowers & seed all brown.
-
Primula littledalei.
Kyabden Aug 23.
