Comment/Acknowledgements:

Note: R. R. Stewart (op. cit.) has cited a specimen from Ladak, Lamayuru, Shale slope 15000', Koelz 2751-b. We have not seen any specimen of this species. Its inclusion here as per R. R. Stewart report.

In all likelihood, T. primigenium will not prove to be a member of the flora of Pakistan. It seems to be a misidentification, not reported from the areas adjacent to Pakistan, nor from other Central Asian countries and Russia.
