This species is at once distinguished from its near relatives of<br />
this group by the character of its indument. The leaves are strikingly<br />
similar in outline and pubescence to those of P. setacea, but<br />
the foliaceous stipules and much shorter peduncles, as well as a<br />
wholly dissimilar coronal structure,<br />
