A dwarf rock-hugging plant forming a rosette of entire to shallowly dentate, smooth, farinose, leathery, pale and rather bluish suborbicular leaves, 2-3 cm. Stem 1-3 cm, rather stout, farinose. Flowers blue, lilac or rarely white with a farinose ring around the open mouth, 15-22 mm diameter, upward facing, the petal-lobes shallowly notched. A very distinct and beautiful dwarf relative of P. marginata only described in 1993 from the Bergamasque Prealps of Lombardy, NW Italy where it grows in shady fissures of dolomite from1150-2000 m altitude. Straightforward to cultivate in the alpine house.
