SZECHUEN : summit of Omei (Faber !). Herb. Kew. 
There are few Chinese species having a large foliaceous calyx, 
and the present is nearest R. bullatum, Franchet, which is easily 
distinguished by its bullate leaves and lepidote corolla. It also 
approaches the Indian R. Edgeworthii, Hook. f.; but in foliage 
it is so exactly like R. hematodes, Franchet, as to suggest 
hybridism.
