Hultén (1968a) mapped two occurrences in East Chukotka. This region was not included by Sekretareva (1999, 2004) but she included Primula cuneifolia s. lat. from South Chukotka (Sekretareva 2004). The records from East Chukotka may have been based on specimens deposited in S, not available for the Russian compilations. Kelso (2009c) accepted presence in Chukotka.
