adpressed hairs above, piloso-pubescent with adpressed sericeous 

 hairs on veins and midrib beneath, ciliated, coarsely and regu- 

 larly sharp-serrate with broad-ovate and mucronato-acute teeth, 

 rounded in outline at the apex, entire and broadly cuneate at 

 the base, membranaceous, plicate; veins several to subnumerous 

 on each side, parallel, regularly arranged, straight or subarcuate 

 upwards, each reaching to the apex of serratures; terminal leaflet 

 slightly larger, shortly petiolulate, oval-ovate or oval-obovate 

 to oblong-elliptical, l-4§ cm. long, |-2f cm. wide in flower, but 

 attaining 5^ cm. long and 3^ cm. wide in fruit ; lateral leaflets 

 very shortly petiolutate, erect-patent, somewhat oblique at the 

 base, ovato-oval or obovato-oval to elliptical ; petiole about 

 1^-19 cm. long in flower, slender, pubescent with often patent 

 or sometimes subreflexed hairs, and hairs sometimes erect-patent 

 towards the base; stipule scarious, adnate below, 1-2 cm. long, 

 entire on margin, the free portion subulate to ovato-subulate, 

 cuspidato-acute to subsetaceo-acuminate at the apex, thinly 

 piloso-pubescent on the midrib dorsally and hairs dense at the 

 top, very loosely veined. Flowering stems including the cyme 

 exserted, or sometimes nearly equalling the leaves in height, 

 few, elongate, slender, patently piloso-pubescent ; cauline leaf in 

 the base of cyme, ternate to simple, smaller or much so than 

 the radical ones, shortly petiolate, stipulate, sharply serrate 

 and piloso-pubescent as in the radical leaves, sometimes reduced 

 into only subulate stipules, in the compound cyme 2nd. one 

 present and usually stipuliform. Cyme laxly 1-4-flowered, 

 simple or compound. Flowers white, hermaphrodite, long- 

 pedicellate, upward, about 16-18 mm. across ; pedicel filiform, 

 pubescent with erect-patent hairs, about li-3§ cm. long in 

 flower ; bracts minute, above or below the middle, often op- 

 posite, linear to subulate, erect-patent or subadpressed, pubes- 

 cent ; bracteoles shorter or rarely longer than the calyx-lobes, 

 linear or broad-linear, rarely oblong-linear or oblong-lanceolate, 

 acute or acuminate, rarely bifid or biparted, entire, herbaceous, 

 green, thinly adpressed-pubescent, ciliated. Calyx adpressed- 

 pubescent externally; tube depressed, shorter than lobes, densely 

 pubescent under the gynophore internally ; lobes 5, patent.
