Stem frutescent, branched : branches thick and rather 
succulent, densely clothed with unequal villous hairs, as 
is every other part of the plant except the corolla. Leaves 
large, about as broad as long, cordate and dilated at the 
base, deeply 5-lobed, very much undulate, strongly nerved 
underneath, the nerves much branched ; very soft to the 
touch, occasioned by the dense woolly hairs : lobes round¬ 
ed, lower ones generally sinuate or lobed, generally over¬ 
lapping each other, toothed with shallow bluntish unequal 
teeth. Petioles furrowed on the upper side and rounded 
on the lower, widened at the base. Stipules ovate, acute, 
ciliate, strongly 1-nerved. Umbels many-flowered. Pe¬ 
duncles cylindrical, thickened at the base. Involucre of 
b or 8 oblongly lanceolate, acute, fringed bractes. Pedicles 
shorter than the bractes. Calyx 5-cleft, segments lanceo¬ 
late, acute, villosely fringed, upper one broadest, erect, the 
others reflexed. Petals 5, all obovate, the two upper ones 
broadest, nearly obcordate, unequal sided, of an orangy 
red, stained with dark purple, marked with numerous dark 
lines, which are much branched and crowded ; lower ones 
of rather a lighter colour, and only marked with faint veins^ 
Filaments 10, unequal in length, united at the base, 7 only 
bearing anthers. Style purple, very hairy. Stigmas 5, 
dark purple, revolute.
