This species has been confounded in Herbaria with P. calocephala, Meisn., and 
MacOwan, in Herb. Austr.-Afr. 1520, distributed specimens of it as such. We 
have seen Meisner’s type of P. calocephala, which is at once distinguished from 
P. pulchella, Andr., in having broader leaves, and the inner involucral bracts not 
bearded at their apices,
