Dièse leicht kenntliche Art erinnert durch die kleinen Blatter am Rh. Fulleanum Kds., 

 von welcher Art sie ubrigens sehr verschieden ist. Durch die Blutenmerkmale geh(")rt sie zu 

 den nàheren Verwandten des Rh. Wrightianum Kds. 



Die Blatter des anfangs in Formalin, nachher in Alkohol konservirten Materials sind 

 oben hellaschgrau, unten dunkelgraubraun. Die Blùten sind nach der Notiz des Sammlers
