P.
tomentosa Stapf, Bot. Mag., 185, Tab. 9249,1931.
The
writer has seen only the plants in the Saunders collection, which
agree closely with the original description and illustration. In its
rugose, impressed veined leaves, large, brown-tomentulose sepals, and
remarkably broad, almost reniform petals it differs from any other
species known to the writer, although in the absence of a disk and
the shape of the follicles and stigmas it agrees with P. corallina
and P. Broteri. It is the earliest to bloom of all the species
in the Saunders collection, and flowers about three weeks earlier
than the other tetraploid forms of the corallina series. It
forms sterile hybrids with P. Wittmanniana, which is to be
expected in view of the great difference between the two species in
the shape of the sepals, petals, follicles, and stigmas.
