 leaves in outline almost lanceolar, generally pinnatifid, slightly 

 recurved at the margin, glabrous above, subtle appressed-hairy 

 beneath, the base cuneately decurrent on the leafstalk, the lobes 

 from semilanceolar to nearly deltoid and pungent-pointed ; flowers 

 2-6 together on the conspicuous stalk, much longer than their 

 stalklets ; petals from pale-greenish turning to slate-colour, much 

 recurved in their upper part, outside scantily appressed-hairy, inside 

 glabrous; hypogynous gland almost semicircular, depressed, not 

 protruding ; style long-exserted, of rosy coloration, except near 

 the base glabrous ; stigma at the summit lateral, roundish-oval ; 

 ovary on a short stipes, white-silky.

Branches lengthening to four feet. Well-developed leaves 2-4 

 inches long. General flower-stalks ^-1 inch long, with the stalklets 

 towards the summit, the latter about £ inch in length, scantily 

 hairy. Bracts minute, semilanceolar-deltoid, early deciduous. 

 Rudimentary calyx truncate, only slightly descending, (hardly less 

 developed than in Vitis and some species of Rhododendron). Petals 

 through their back-curvature not much above half-an-inch long. 

 Style hardly exceeding an inch in length. Fruit not yet obtained.
