racemes of capsules are from 6 to 9 inches in length, and 
produced in such profusion as nearly to conceal the foliage. 
They have not yet been seen on living plants in this 
country. 
The leaves are ternate, softly villous, with downy 
petioles; the leaflets are cordate, coarsely and unequally 
toothed, and somewhat lobed; the teeth being generally 
apiculate. The racemes are pendulous, inserted on one 
side of the axille. The flowers are white; the fruit large, 
ovate, retuse, pubescent, and shortly stipitate. mem
