Once included under P. cicutariifolia, but proven to be distinct. Distinguished by having the ability to progate asexually by the flowering scape differentiating into bulblets during the later stages of flowering. The first 1-4 young leaves are kidney-shaped, sinuous-lobed , 3-9 pinnae with the terminal pinna kidney shaped or elliptic, obviously larger than the others. The flowers are pink with a central white zone, distylous with the corolla lobes emarginate.
