This is correctly identified but there have been both nomenclatural and taxonomic changes. *It is now considered to be within the genus Primula by Richards.* *So the current name is Primula brotheri*
When I first explored in Kashmir, this plant was known as Cortusa matthioli Hook.f. non L. Then it became Cortusa brotheri and now a Primula. Common in damp shady places in Kashmir @ 2100-3600m. Flowers of Himalaya gives a distribution of Afghanistan to Uttaranachal amongst rocks, forests & shady places @ 3000-4000m. A colleague of mine when coming across it for the first time near Khoksar, Lahoul (admittedly in fruit) thought it might be a Primula though belonging to a species only recorded from the Eastern Himalaya.
