Notes

Possible confusion with P. longifolia (Bastard) Boreau, 1857, which has narrower leaves, and flowers that quickly turn blue after blooming, while P. affinis has broader leaves, and flowers that tend to remain reddish after blooming, or take longer to turn blue.

Summer leaves are broader, with a more ovate shape.
