more or less procumbent or ascending, angled, green, slightly 
glanduloso-pubescent. Leaves alternate, two to three inches

gin, but otherwise entire: these segments are oblong, obtuse; 
five to seven on each leaf. The flowers droop and form a com- 
pound cyme, with slender pedicels. The corolla as large as and 
the shape of that of 8. tuberosum, of a rather bright colour, with 
five rays of dark blood-colour. The authers oblong, bright, al- 
most golden-yellow, and very conspicuous : filaments very short. 
Ovary glabrous, oval ; syle thick, flexuose, pubescenti-villous.
