The collector Wilson did not specify a distinct location for this collection though it was made in Western China. Efarinose with a long thin rhizome, leaves orbicular, rounded at the apex and rounded or cordate at the base. Leaves vary in size and in having cordate-dentate margins at one extreme and completely entire margins at the other extreme. Flowers rose-purple, annulate, with fringed lobes. Distinguished from P. lacerata by the absence of petiolate leaves forming in the umbel and by geography. Distinguished from P. hydrocotylifolia by having an umbel of flowers rather than single.
