This plant differs from P. tricolor in the following
manner; this is tall and erect, that dwarf and spreading;
this is covered with a short white pubescence,
that with long villous hairs; the leaves of this are more
regularly lanceolate, not trifid; its upper petals are

wet; watering over the leaves in winter is also very
injurious to this and all other downy-leaved plants, as
the wet lodges on them and makes them rot. Cuttings
strike root freely if planted in pots in the same kind of
soil, and placed on a shelf in the greenhouse.
