This has been correctly identified by the late Krishan Lal but there has been a nomenclatural change it is now Primula munroi*.*
Commonly known as the 'White Marsh Primula' this species is typically white but is often much more colourful on the Rohtang Pass. In the mid-1980s there was a low wet cliff at about 3600m fed by a large seepage area, where I was able to stop the vehicle which transported members of the botanical tours I led en route to Miyah Nullah, Lahoul, to photograph what I knew as Primula involucrata then. Sadly, this area has been bulldozed away (don't think it has helped the drainage much) but it remains a widespread plant. Flowers of Himalaya record it from Pakistan to SW China @ 3000-4500m, streamsides & marshes, common. I last saw it in flower in Mustang district of Nepal above Muktinath a few years ago.
