This new species seems to be most closely related to H. patulum Thunberg 
and particularly to its var. wralum Koehne, which differs chiefly in its more 
shrubby habit, in the only slightly two-edged, never four-angled branches, larger 
and broader leaves, much larger flowers with suborbicular or broadly ovate 
rounded sepals.
