Forwarding again for Id assistance please. Some earlier relevant feedback: I am confused by this. It certainly appears to be an Androsace rather than a Primula.
I can say with confidence that it is *not* Androsace mucronifolia - in fact the plant from VOF is not remotely similar to A.mucronifolia. This species is only recorded from Aghanistan to Kashmir, so would not be expected in VOF anyhow. The image does seem to match the posting named as Androsace garhwalica (Primula garhwalica). *I am not familiar with this species. Clearly it has been named by Indian botanists. Could someone tell me the publication this species was described in and how it is distinguished from related species?* -- >From Chris Chadwell ji.
