Taxonomy Comments: P. sharpianus Hu, known from e. TN and nc. AR, is similar to P. hirsutus, allegedly differing in the hypanthium glabrous (vs. more or less pubescent), the leaves strigose-pilose above, glabrous or sparsely strigose or with the nerves only villous beneath (vs. scabrous-hirsute above, uniformly villous beneath); it is probably best considered only a form of P. hirsutus. P. hirsutus is cultivated and it may escape outside of the range stated.
