Stem shrubby, erect, simple, sometimes attaining 
the height of three or four feet ; very rugged, occasion- 
ed by the persistent stipules. Leaves smooth and 
glossy : lower ones palmately 5-parted ; those on the 
flower-stalks 3-parted : segments bipinnatifid or deeply 
laciniated, acute, mucronate, sharply toothed. Peti- 
oles long, bent towards the leaf, nearly cylindrical, 
slightly sulcate with several very shallow furrows, pur- 
ple and much swollen at the base, and green upwards, 
smooth and glossy. Stipules large, ovate, bluntish, 
their margins membranaceous, of a pale purple, per- 
sistent. Flower-stems dichotomous, quite smooth and 
glossy, as are the peduncles and calyx. Peduncles se- 
veral, fasciculate, 2-flowered. Involucre of four very 
small bractes, the two lower ones ovate, concave, 
bluntish, double the size of the upper ones'. Pedicles 
erect, about twice the length of the calyx. Calyx of 
five sepals, which are broadly lanceolate, mucronate, 
deeply furrowed, with membranaceous margins. Petals 
5, roundly obovate, of a light purple, darker at the
