SUMMARY:
Field notes from Langong record several Primula taxa with observations on abundance, flower color, and phenology, including comparisons to a prior Bhutan primula (3366). P. tsariensis is noted as abundant north and south of the Main Himalayan Range, and a bearing for the Langong valley is given.

Langong.
-
Primula dryadifolia. Langong. Very common in valley due N. of Langong village.
-
- var. microdonta. Langong. Hardly any seen.
-
- tsariensis, white form. Langong. This again agrees with the type in appearance, except that flowers are white. It does not resemble the Bhutan primula (3366) at all. It is a much more upstanding plant, longer scape, smaller flower.
-
- tsariensis. Langong. Taken when these plants are in full flower. No 3779 was taken soon after they were in flower. The hills hereabouts abound in P. tsariensis, both north & south of the Main Himalayan Range.
-
- P. sikkimensis sect. (? Hopeana?). pudibunda. Langong.
The valley at LANGONG lies at a bearing of approx. 250° - 65° from Langong.
