Primula capitata and glomerata are related, and have quite tight tufts of leaves, grey-green with their covering of farina. The deep purple heads of flowers form spheres or partial spheres at the tops of the slender stems, contrasting with the dense white farina that covers all other parts of the inflorescence.
Primula capitata CC6536B is a collection from Nepal, originally labelled just as being in the Capitatae section, but it clearly is one of the sub-species of Primula capitata, so it will have heads of tightly packed, rich purple flowers, contrasting with the farina on the calyx.
