According to Forrest, who collected it in June 1914, in the Lichiang range of Yunnan, this is a shrub 4 to 8 ft high with pale lavender-rose flowers. They have yellow anthers, and the leaves, 1 to 11⁄2 in. long, are hairy on the midrib and veins beneath. Forrest introduced it, but it is uncertain if the true species is now in cultivation (1979).
