The alliance of this species is manifestly with Alsomitra integrifoliola 
(Cogn.) Hayata, which it rather closely resembles in appearance. It is 
easily distinguished by its 3-foliolate leaves and its indumentum.

A glabrous, monoecious, slender, apparently annual vine, the 
branches about 1.5 mm in diameter, smooth, sulcate. Leaves 
broadly ovate in outline, cordate, pedately divided into 5 or 7 
narrow lobes which extend almost to the base, the lobes char- 
taceous or membranaceous, dark-olivaceous, linear to narrowly 
oblanceolate, 5 to 7 cm long, 2 to 7 mm wide, usually narrowed 
at both ends, sinuses acute to rounded, tips apiculate-acuminate,
