Comment/Acknowledgements:
In his original diagnoses of the species, Pax states the plant to be efarinose. This is not always so, as I have observed in W. Koelz's coll. no. 9386 from the Burzil in Kashmir, and E. Nash & G.L. Webster’s coll. no. 6024 from Baltistan. The species is related to Primula farinose L. from which it differs in the longer corolla tube. High altitude forms of Primula denticulate Sm., may resemble the species in facies. Primula schlagintweitiana is usually found on moist meadows and open hilly places from 1700-5182 m.
