A very distinct species re-collected only by Prof. A. S. Hitchcock. The 
leaves are not always biserrate but deeply and irregularly serrate, also 
sometimes ternate instead of quaternate.

This species has been re-collected only once since the time of Wawra, 
and Hillebrand states ''not seen by me." Wawra says "ovary glabrous"; 
in his specimen the ovary is not glabrous but hirtellous and hirsute towards 
the apex especially at the base of the style; the calycine lobes are thin- 
membranous, with undulate margins, prominent midrib, and anastomosing 
veins, hirtellous on both sides but especially along the nerves.
