Stem shrubby, flexuose, clothed with a hard brown 
shining bark. Branches covered with a short powdeiy 
pubescence, as is every other part of the plant except 
the corolla. Leaves alternate, 5-parted, upper leaflets 
wedge-shaped, 3-toothed ; lower ones deeply cloven, 
segments wedge-shaped. Petioles a little shorter than 
the leaf, nearly cylindrical, but gradually tapering up- 
wards. Stipules rigid, narrowly cordate, taper-pointed, 
remaining persistent. Peduncles nearly cylindrical or 
slightly angular, 1- to 2-flowered. Involucre of 2 or 3 
narrowly lanceolate, taper-pointed, membranaceous, 
veiny bractes. Petioles short, cylindrical. Calyx 5- 
cleft, segments more than half an inch long, lanceolate, 
acute, many-nerved. Nectariferous tube very rigid, 
about twice the length of the calyx, flattened at the 
back and on each side, and obtusely keeled below.
