About

Primula amethystina is a species of flowering plant in the family Primulaceae, native to China. The plant is commonly found in west and northwest Yunnan and southwest Sichuan, and across the border in Tibet. It typically grows best in wet, boggy soil.

Where it grows

Primula amethystina was first collected on Cangshan Mountain in China. It is widespread in west and northwest Yunnan, southwest Sichuan, and across the border in Tibet. It is commonly found on the Zhongdian plateau and is generally seen in wet turfy soil where the ground has become too wet for cassiopes and rhododendrons.
