Characteristics

Erect, branched, strongly balm-scented, somewhat viscid shrub, up to 1.75 m high and 0.5 m in diameter. Stems herbaceous when young but soon becoming woody, villous and with glandular hairs interspersed, green but becoming brownish with age. Leaves usually soft to the touch, indumentum extremely variable but always with glandular hairs; lamina panduriform to cordiform in outline, pinnatilobate to pinnatipartite with the segments occasionally shallowly lobed, adaxially glabrate to villous and green, abaxially sparsely villous to lanate and greyish-green, base cordate, apices of lobes obtuse, margins crenate, (20-)35(-60) x (15-)25(-75) mm; petiole (7-)15(-30) mm long, sparsely villous to villous; stipules triangular to cordiform, apices often 2-or more dentate, ±6 x 5 mm. Inflorescence: flowering branches with normal and smaller foliar leaves; peduncles 20-80 mm long, distinctly articulated at distal and proximal ends in infructescences, villous to densely villous and interspersed with glandular hairs; involucral bracts lanceolate to ovate, often cuspidate, indumentum as on peduncles, 6-10 x 4-6 mm; pseudo-umbels with 2-20 relatively large flowers. Pedicel 1-3 mm long. Hypanthium 6-13 mm long, villous and with glandular hairs interspersed. Sepals lanceolate, apiculate, indumentum as on hypanthium, green to reddish-brown with white margins, 8-14 x 3-5 mm. Petals pale pink to pink; posterior two spathulate, apices obtuse to emarginate, with dark purple markings, reflexed at less than 90°, 20-35 x 6-13 mm; anterior three spathulate with long narrow claws, slightly reflexed, 15-28 x 5-10 mm. P. panduriforme flowers from August to January but the odd flower may be found throughout the year.
