Habitat: Scattered on stony alpine slopes, amongst boulders in rich black loam.
Description: Flowers bright violet with yellow eye. Calyx and corolla tube lightly powdered with meal. 18/6/26. The plant forms large clumps like the Primrose; these are widely scattered and the plant is apparently not abundant. I have seen five or six clumps. 28/6/26. Immensely abundant in the high alpine region, on turf slopes, where it forms sheets of colour. Ascends to 14000-15000 ft and grows on both sides of the pass.(Diphuk La). In bloom till mid-July. the habit and flower recall P. sonchifolia, but unlike that species, this is a true a;pine not occurring below 12000 ft, and most abundant at 13000--14000 ft. on turf slopes. It looks like a - Petiolaris - though the seeds are not of the - Petiolaris - type.
