Capsule Habitat. “Jab Delei valley. In middle and upper forests at 10-11000 ft. altitude. In its 5-partite corolla and its 10 stamens this is a distinctly aberrant member of the Falcoheri Series. In these characters however it is equally alien in the Grande Series - the alliance suggested by Ward from the appearance of the plant in the field. The hairs of the leaf indumentum are not markedly cup-shaped bub are long narrow funnels resembling those of Rh. preptum. The distinctly acuminate leaf apex is a characteristic feature which distinguishes it at once (flower characters apart) from Rh. preptum with its somewhat similar indumentum.
