The material of this plant in the Calcutta Herbarium is 
scanty, but suffices to indicate that the plant has not yet been 
described. 
The plant has in some ways a resemblance with P. Stir- 
toniana, Watt but its foliage is not the same. The leaves are 
truly spathulate, and have a crenulate margin which is, however, 
sometimes dentate, but the leaf has never the obcuneate form 
and somewhat truncate apex of that of P. Stivtoniana, Watt. 
The nearly sessile flower and small subulate bract just below 
the calyx are also different from what is found in P. Stirtoniana, 
Watt and the calyx is much smaller, as is the whole flower. It 
may be, however, that this is a microform of P. Stirtoniana, Watt.
