0389B544FFE2A8148269FF22FD0FEA15.taxon	etymology	ETYMOLOGY. — The specific epithet is derived from the Latin propellere, propel, in reference to the propeller-like form of the petals. The red, propeller-like petals immediately distinguish this species from H. macilwraithensis and H. tozerensis, which appear to be its closest relatives.	en	Craven, Lyndley A., Pfeil, Bernard E.
