Allied to W. Macdonaldi, F. von Muell, but differing in its hairy stem, petioles, and 
sepals, and the much larger petioles. “Flowers deep lemon-yellow. Fruit carmine.”

Camps IX to X, 5500 to 6700 ft. 
A most curious species and quite unlike any other in its small round coriaceous leaves, 
drying fuscous above and dotted all over beneath with very small black hairs on the 
junctions of the reticulations. The two very distinet series of sepals, the inner ones 
narrow and ornamented with a mass of long stiff pink bristles projecting beyond the tip 
of the sepal, and the connate petals falling off the flower with the stamens attached, are 
also unique in this genus.

the sepals hairy with flattened setæ, and the petals are not rounded at the top but 
- bilobed. G
