Type specimen: Chow 369 resides at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (specimen E00024108). See also Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (specimen E00024094 in part) and KEW (specimen K000750105).
Epithet: Named for its similarity to P. violodora.
Distribution: W Hubei, SW Shaanxi, China.
Similar to P. cinerascens but with leaves much larger (4-13 X 5-15cm ) and dentate-lobulate at the margin (not crenate). Leaves orbicular to reniform, deeply cordate at the base, dentate-lobulate at the margin with the lobules broadly triangular and hydathode-denticulate, thinly pubescent above with longer hairs on the veins, sparingly pilose on nerves below, elsewhere glabrous. Scape 10-40cm tall, slender, pinkish pilose, with 1-2 umbels of 5-8 rose-lilac to purple, annulate flowers. The type location is "Tzu Kwei Hsien" in Hupeh (Hubei), but I don't have this location.
