R. bureavii aff. sp. nov? JN ARS537/2009 (Taliensia). A rather strange species similar to bureaviodes with quite large leaves and
petioles held vertical on current year’s growth. Indumentum on petioles, shoots and upper surface of the
leaves, giving the plants a slight orange glow, which doesn’t show well in the pics due to rain. The under
side of leaves have only very patchy and scattered indumentum, becoming nearly glabrous with time: but
very glandular with tiny red glands. Plentiful and common in this location and elevation, it would be tempting
to use the name pubicostatum but Mr. Nielsen doesn't feel that would be correct according to the description.
More typical bureavii may occur higher on this mountain, but he can’t say for sure and it is an area where
only very little collection have been done. Horticulturally quite different from bureavii and without a name
yet. S Sichuan 3800m.
