This primrose has somewhat elongate leaves that, in spring, are covered in yellowish powder (farina). The upright stems are topped with somewhat nodding purple-violet or cream-white flowers in July. Relatively easy to grow if the soil is kept cool and moist. Plants may be short-lived so save seed from time to time. It is native to E. Bhutan, SW Szechuan, SE Tibet and W Yunnan, where it grows in damp, stony, alpine meadows at 3000-4800m elevation.
