Stems long, slender, lax, weak, decumbent or supported by 

 other plants, somewhat retrorsely hispid, ribbed, becoming more 

 than 2 dm. in length : internodes becoming 10 cm. long: leaves 

 opposite, ovate to orbicular in outline, 1-3 cm. long and of about 

 the same breadth, generally 5-lobed with lobes subequal, the up- 

 per 3 more or less confluent and cuneate at base, the lower two 

 oblong or elliptical, entire or lobed, veins evident, thin in texture, 

 hispid with appressed hairs which are denser on the lower surface 

 and less regular on the upper surface, inclined to be postulate at 

 base ; petioles equalling or shorter than the blades, dilated and 

 clasping at base, hispid and bristly ciliate : peduncles shorter 

 than the leaves, spreading in flower, nodding after anthesis : ca- 

 lyx with linear oblong divisions, 2-2.5 mm. long, extending almost 

 to the base, hispid externally, sparingly so near the apex on the 

 inner surface, veiny : auricles small, deflexed, sometimes wanting, 

 corolla tubular-campanulate, 3 mm. long with the divisions as long 

 as the tube, hispid on the outside : divisions a little more than 3 

 mm. broad, emarginate or obtuse at apex : appendages consisting 

 of two linear scales, the free sides folding towards each other, 

 ciliate on the margin : stamens about as long as the tube of the 

 corolla, attached a little above the base : anthers small, cordate : 

 ovary densely hispid : style divided about the middle : capsule 

 globular: seeds 2-4, with a stipe-like calyptra about as long as

Stems erect, branching from the base and dichotomously above, 

 4-angled, rather stout, cinereous, the stem bristles rather few, 

 downwardly appressed : internodes twice as long as the leaves, 

 1-7 cm. : leaves broad, oval to ovate in outline, 1-2.5 cm. long. 

 1-2 cm. wide, 5-lobed, the three upper lobes somewhat confluent, 

 the two lower petiolulate, entire or lobed, appressed hairy ; petioles 

 about as long as the blade except on the uppermost leaves, dilated 

 at base and connate-clasping ; first leaves orbicular or oval, on 

 petioles two or three times the length of the blades : peduncles 

 erect in flower, deflexed and inclined to be tortuous in fruit, about 

 as long as the petioles on the lower leaves : calyx with triangular 

 subulate divisions, 2 mm. long, densely hispid on the outer surface,
