Rootstock short, stout. Leaves all radical, membranous, 6—16 inches 
long (including the petiole); limb obovate or oblanceolate, tapering below 
into the long winged petioles rounded at the apex margins irregularly 
dentate, and often obscurely lobed, midrib and veins prominent beneath. 
Seape up to 3 feet in height, silvery-farinose, as also the pedicels and 
calyx; pedicels spreading, about !/, inch long, elongating in fruit; bracts 
about as long as the pedicels (in flower), linear. Calyx equalling about 
two-thirds the length of the corolla-tube, its tube thickly packed inside 
with white wax-like meal; lobes lanceolate, acuminate, valvate round the 
capsule after flowering. Corolla about 1 inch in diameter, deep rose- 
purple or violet, with an orange-brown eye; tube tinged with crimson; 
limb deeply devided, its base with ten minute inflexions, two under each 
lobe; lobes obcordate. Capsule elliptie-oblong or subglobose. 
West Szechuan: Growing abundantly in marshy ground at elevations 
between 8000 and 10000 feet (E. H. Wilson, Henry no. 8879, Pratt 
no. 356. Spec. in Herb. Kew !). 
It resembles P. japonica in general habit, but it may at once be 
distinguished by its silvery farinose seape and inflorescence, and by the 
deep rose-purple or violet-coloured flowers. A more important diagnostie
