The description of this species is based on an examination of 11 specimens. 

 Its nearest ally is P. lutescens, a Ynnnan species, which differs by its shorter corolla 

 tube, its 5-fid galea teeth, and its disc prolonged anteriorly into a spur.

This description is from three specimens collected by General Collett, C.B., in 

 1888. They differ from the Yunnan plant named by Franchet and described by 

 Maximowicz in having shorter leaves, and especially in not having the midlobe of 

 the lower lip emarginate; in other respects they appear to agree exactly.
