" Flowers creamy white.” This is allied to P. Hookeriamim, 
but the leaves are rather smaller and the whole of the plant, except 
the upper surface of the leaves, densely velvety pubescent.

This is a very distinct-looking form in its larger and fewer 
leaflets, the typical form having much smaller leaflets and 4 to 5 
pairs. I cannot fit it to any of Miquel's species. His species
