Very large-leaved Stork’s-bill. 
P. magnifolium, foliis cordato-reniformibus acutis obsolete 
lobatis acute dentatis utrinque hirsutis ciliatis; margine 
subrecurvis, stipulis elongato-lanceolatis acuminatis 
subdentatis, umbellis 4-6-floris, petalis superioribus re- 
flexis, tubo nectarifero calyce subsequali. 
Stem frutescent, much branched ; branches thickly 
clothed with long spreading soft white hairs, that are very 
unequal in length. Leaves very large, broader than long; 
lower ones six inches and a half broad and four and a half 
long, slightly 5-lobed, acute, nearly flat, or the margins a 
little reflexed, sharply toothed with broadish teeth, and 
fringed, thickly clothed with short soft hairs on both sides, 
strongly and numerously nerved underneath, the nerves 
much branched: upper leaves more undulate, deeper-lobed, 
more acute, and their teeth sharper. Petioles flattened on 
the upper side, and convex on the lower, dilated and hollow 
close to the leaf, thickly clothed with unequal spreading 
hairs, as are the stipules, peduncles, and pedicles. Stipules 
very long, lanceolate, taper-pointed and fringed, sometimes 
toothed. Peduncles long, cylindrical. Umbels 4 to 6- 
flowered. Involucre of 6 bractes, that are more or less 
connected, lanceolate, acute, villous. Pedicles longer than 
the bractes, about the length of the nectariferous tube. 
Calyx 5-cleft, the segments long, narrowly lanceolate, ta¬ 
per-pointed, villous; upper one erect, the others all reflexed.
