stem short, succulent; radical leaves petiolate, softly pubescent and sub-canescent beneath, ovate-oblong, obtuse, glabrous above, pinnato-lobulate, the lobules mostly broader than long, coarsely toothed at the apex; stipules lanceolate acuminate; scapes very much longer than the leaves, pilose, many-flowered; calyx villoso-pubescent, with linear-lanceolate segments; petals bi-partite, their segments fimbriato-multifid. Very like P. schizopetalum, but the leaves are more ovate, much less deeply lobed, and the upper surface is glabrous and the margin purple. The flowers are rather larger and all the petals suffused with purple; the pubescence of the calyx is different, and the umbel has more rays.
