In foliage this resembles A. Kempferi, Willd., presenting 
similar variations ; but the narrower and somewhat smaller 
perianth differs in the very sharply bent tube, and in the equally 
3-lobed limb, similar to that of the North-American A. Sipho, 
Ait. It also differs in the longer indistinctly ribbed capsule.
