Die hierher gehörigen Arten sind nahe miteinander verwandt und Bewohner des Himalaya. 

 Von den allgemeiner verbreiteten beiden Arten (Pr. reticulata und Pr. mfi null folia) scheinen 

 sicli in Sikkim drei weitere Species abgegliedert zu haben : Pr. Gambeliana, pulchra und i 

 folia; die beiden letzteren entfernen sich durch ihre Blattform vom Typus am meisten.
