This handsome flower, we are told, has been long in our 
collections, but not having been distinctly recorded by 
Miller, or in either edition of the Hortus Kewensis, we 
are unable to fix the date of its first appearance in this 
country. It differs from Ancroris aspera (fol. 34 of this 
work) in the colour of the flower, in having a far softer 
foliage and without the rough pubescence that is perceived 
in that of the other, and in tbis not being here undulate or 
curled at the margin, in having far more unequal lobes and 
separated by wider intervals, and a very narrow midrib sunk 
between the sides of the blade nearly as in a channelled 
leaf; by the appendages of the outer leaflets of the calyx 
not being hirsute as there; its sfem is also less decidedly 
frutescent or woody, the herbaceous portion of the plant 
more extensive, and in all those we have seen, radicating.
