to 12000 feet (Wilson). 
P. cognata is closely related to P. stenocalyx Maximowicz agreeing as 
to foliage, bracts, and more particularly as regards the narrow calyx- 
lobes and the length of the rugose corolla tube. It differs, however, by 
its much longer pedicels and in the prismatically angled calyx tube.
