nervis obscuris, scapo robusto elongato floreque magno solitario 
pubescenti-tomentoso, bractea 0, calyce brevi 5-partito segmentis 
ovato-lanceolatis, corolle infundibularis è poll. long: lobis bre- 
vibus obovato-oblongis erenatis. (Tan. XII. A.) 
Srxkrw Hrmataya, alt. about 12,000 ft. (King). 
Rootstock very stout, crowned with broad sheathing scales, 
which embrace the petioles. Zeaves narrowed into broad winged 
puberulous petioles. Scape 6-7 inches; flower often 1 inch long 
and broad across the limb, pubescent all over. Anthers linear, 
near the mouth of the corolla. Ovary very small, conical, acute; 
style filiform, stigma minute, truncate.—A very remarkable and 
beautiful species, quite unlike any other.

Stem very stout for the size of the plant, horizontal, rooting 
below and giving off above tufts of leaves and flowers. Leaves 
with the stout petiole about as long as the blade or longer, 
margins recurved, lobules or teeth acute or obtuse.  Bracts at 
the base of the pedicel sessile amongst the leaves, rarely on a very 
short peduncle; pedicel shorter than the calyx. Corolla-tube 
nearly 4 inch long, limb about as broad, pale purple. Ovary 
globose, top acute; stigma globose. Fruit not seen.—This inter- 
esting little species was partly confounded with P. minutissima 
in the distribution of Herb. Ind. Or., Hook. f. & Thoms.
