Comment/Acknowledgements: The species is not common in Kashmir. Found on damp rocks and steep rocky places near water from 3300-3800 m. The flowers are ivory white and scent-ed. Watt (l.c. 307), states the flowers to be pale yellow. Related to Primula wigramiana Smith from Nepal, which is a larger plant with an exannulate corolla. Gould (in Hara, Chater & Williams, Enum. Flow. Pl. Nepal, 3:1982), considers 2 varieties of Primula reidii, of which the var. reidii is found in Pakistan.
