Descr. Stem herbaceous, twining, hairy, as is almost 

 every part of the plant, except the upper side of the leaves 

 and the petals. Leaves on very long flexuose footstalks, 

 orbicular, obscurely lobed, peltate, the lobes with a soft 

 mucro at their apex. Ferns radiating. Peduncles axillary, 

 very long, flexuose, and apparently climbing. Calyx 

 deeply cut into five, ovato-oblong, erect segments ; its base 

 prolonged behind into a broadly-subulate, nearly straight 

 spur, tipped with green, and thrice the length of the calyx. 

 Petals five, orange red ; the two upper ones large, broadly 

 obovate, obscurely three-lobed at the apex ; three lower 

 ones much smaller, nearly of the same shape, but upon 

 long claws ; the lamina deeply and coarsely toothed ; its 

 lower part, and the upper portion of the claws, fringed at 

 the margin.
