Inter affines A. setigerae var. Roylei C. B. Clarke, proxima, a qua 

 foliis majoribus basi auriculatis, floribus majoribus et calycis lobis deltoi-

 alterna, pseudoverticillata. brevissime crasseque petiolata, crassa, coriacea, 

 fere horizontalia, ovato-oblonga, 8 — 10 cm longa, 3 — 5 cm lata, basi sub-

 longi, bracteis bracteolisque minutis caducissimis. Calyx cum pedicello 

 apice incrassato articulatus. persistens, circiter 5 cm longus; lobi deltoidei 

 erecti, acuti, quam tubus breviores. Corolla tubulata. medio ventricosa, 

 cum lobis 3.5 — 4 cm longa, medio 15 cm diametro, conspicue 5-costata; 

 lobi lanceolati, obtusiusculi, erecti vel demum recurvi. circiter 1 cm longi.
