Stem shrubby, branching; branches spreading, 
thickly clothed with long spreading hairs and shorter 
ones intermixed, as are the petioles, peduncles, and 
calyx. Leaves cordate, deeply 3-lobed, undulate, 
strongly nerved underneath, rigidly toothed with un- 
equal sharp-pointed teeth, clothed on both sides with 
short soft hairs, teeth curved inwards: lobes broad and 
blunt ; lower ones slightly 2-lobed, upper one more or 
less 3-lobed. Petioles short and stout, broadly flat- 
tened and furrowed on the upper side and convex on 
the lower, widened at the base and point. Stipules 
ovate or lanceolate, acute, ciliate, margins reflexed. 
Umbels many-flowered. Peduncles cylindrical, thick- 
ened and transparent at the base. Involucre of 6 lan- 
ceolate acute keeled bractes, all connected at the base. 
Petioles about the length of the bractes, villous. Ca- 
lyx 5-cleft: segments lanceolate, acute ; the upper one 
largest, erect, the others reflexed. Nectariferous tube 
about the length of the calyx, broadly flattened on 
both sides and gibbous at the base. Petals 5, slightly 
reflexed, the two upper ones roundly obovate, oblique 
at the base, flame- coloured, with a more or less purple 
spot in the centre, between which and the base branch 
several purple stripes ; lower petals oblong or broadly 
ligulate, of rather a lighter colour. Stamens 10, united 
at the base, seven bearing anthers. Pollen orange-
