Perennial, about 10-14 cm. high. Bhizome gracile, repent, loosely 

 rooting. Kadical leaves with a long and glabrous petiole, simply ternate, 

 thinly pubescent above, glabrous beneath, ciliated on margin, membranaceous, 

 flaccid, li-3 cm. long, 2-3| cm. wide ; leaflets shortly petiolulate, ample, 

 obtuse, broadly truncato-cuneate at the base, obtuso- or acuto-dentate 

 with a very minute mucronate point; lateral ones subrhombeo-rounded, 

 oblique in form, in size nearly equal to the terminal one which is rouuded 

 often trifid and 10-19 mm. in length. Stem erect, gracile, glabrescent, 

 with a few membranaceous ovate or oval vaginas at the base, 7-10 cm. 

 long. Involucral leaves 3, petiolate, ternate with sessile leaflets, cordato- 

 deltoid in outline, thinly pubescent above, glabrous beneath, ciliated on 

 margin, acute or obtuse with a very minute mucronate tip at the apex, 

 incho- or subinciso-serrato-dentate with mucronato-tipped obtuse or acute 

 teeth, flaccid, membranaceous, 16-28 mm. long, 16-35 mm. broad; lateral 

 ones smaller, oblong or elliptical-oblong, oblique in form, subbifid, the inner 

 margin entire except the apical portion ; the terminal one oblong-elliptical, 

 cuneate below with entire margins, veins rather conspicuous and often pur- 

 purascent when recent beneath, loosely reticulated ; petiole erect-patent, 

 slightly shorter than the blade, ciliated on front margins (which are often 

 purpurascent when recent), straight, 8-11 mm. long. Pedicel erect, longer 

 than the involucral leaves, gracile, filiform, pubescent with ascending- 

 adpressed pale hairs throughout (hairs denser under the flower), 3-4 cm. 

 long. Flower 16-18 mm. across, white. Sepals 5, patent, oblong to 

 ovato-oblong, obtuse, membranaceous, glabrous on both margins, delicately 

 veined, deciduous, 9-10 mm. long, 5-6 mm. broad. Stamens numerous, 

 shorter than sepals ; filament filiform ; anther oblong, yellowish. Carpels
