Himalaya region, 7,000-13,000 ft., and said by Hooker to be the commonest Himalayan primula, and very variable. The fls. are said to be eaten in salad and the powder of the roots to be used in killing leeches. Intro. 1842. B.M. 3959. B.R. 28:47. Gn. 11, p. 127; 29. p. 382; 35, p. 529; 41, p. 588; 62, p. 218; 79, p. 161.G.M. 54:344. G.C. III. 47:152. J.H.III. 62:261; 67: 529. R.H.S. 39:160. A hardy plant, usually treated as a rockwork subject. Blooms in earliest spring. Var. purpurea, Hort., has dark purple fls. Var. alba, Hort,, has white fls. Gn. 50, p. 372; 78, p. 165. G.L. 23:422. Gn.W. 22, suppl. May 13 (as var. alba grandiflora). Var. pulcherrima, Hort., is very robust, with deep purple fls. in dense heads. Var. variegata, Hort., has lvs. bordered white. Var. Fire Ball has bright purple fls. in large heads.
Var. cachemiriana, Hook. f. (P. cachemiriana, Munro. P. cashmeriana, Hort.). Lvs. nearly or quite full grown when the fls. are in bloom, usually more mealy (yellow-mealy beneath and sometimes on top): fls. rich purple with yellow center: perhaps a hybrid. W. Himalayan region. R.H. 1880:330. J.H. III. 60:199. Gn. 79, p. 97. P. sibirica var. kashmiriana. (B.M. 6493) is a different plant. See No. 132.
