Stout: petioles, scapes, bracts, and stipules bright red: Lvs. green, 2-4 in. wide, on stout, hairy petioles, 2-6 in. long, orbicular, reniform, concave, margins lobed, red, toothed: fls. 2 in. across, rose-red. Andes of Peru, 12,000 ft. Intro, in 1867.

The species itself is probably not now in cult.
