Certainly not *R. grande* --as the flowers in *R. grande* are not this large (compared to the leaves) and the no of flowers per inflorescence is 20-30; the adaxial surface of the large leaves show a silvery-white sheen due to the presence of hairy outgrowths. Also, the flowers do not look similar to *R. maddenii *(like the flowers of *R. maddenii *are very large; the style is green not coloured-- one distinct feature is the crown shaped calyx at the base of the floral tube)--- would be nice if we could get a side picture of the flowers.
