Stem usually quite prostrate, angular and furrowed 

 throughout, nearly glabrous but with scattered subsessile 

 glands, not stellately downy nor setose. PricJdes nearly all 

 placed on the angles of the stem, rather few, moderately 

 long, slender from a long compressed base, straight, declining, 

 nearly equal; rarely one very much smaller may be found. 

 Leaves quinate. Leaflets very broad and large, dull green 

 and pilose above, paler and with numerous hairs beneath, 

 coarsely and irregularly doubly dentate; basal broadly 

 oblong, rather rhomboidal, sessile, overlapping the interme- 

 diate pair which are of similar shape but larger and shortly 

 stalked; terminate leaflet with a stalk equalling one-third of 

 its length, cordate-acuminate; petioles furrowed above; and 

 as well as the midribs yellowish and with a few small weak 

 declining or slightly deflexed prickles beneath; stipules 

 leaflike, lanceolate-attenuate.
