tim 7-lobatis subcanescentibus utrinqne hirsutis: 
segmentis oblongis obtusis obtuse dentatis margine 
planis, stipulis ovatis breve acuminatis, pedunculis 
paucifloris, calycibus reflexis, tubo nectarifero ca- 
lyce parum longiore, stylo hirsuto. 
Stem frutescent, erect, much branched: branches 
rather slender, densely clothed with short white wool, 
and numerous longer unequal hairs intermixed, which 
gives them a canescent appearance. Leaves cordate, 
palmately 7 to 9-lobed, and toothed with unequal short 
blunt teeth, also clothed with short white hairs on both 
sides, which gives them a whitish appearance: lower 
ones with much broader segments than the upper ones, 
not so deeply lobed, the lobes flatter and blunter, and 
the teeth broader and more obtuse. Petioles flattened a 
little on the upper side and rounded on the lower, to- 
mentose and hairy. Stipules short, ovate, broad at the 
base, and tapering to a short slender point. JJmbels 
from 2 to 4-flowered. Peduncles cylindrical, thickened 
a little at the base, hairy, and tomentose. Involucre of 
6 short, ovate, acute, woolly bractes. Pedicles long and 
slender, villosely hairy. Calyx 5-cleft, villous; the seg¬ 
ments acute, reflexed; upper one broadest, ovate; the 
others lanceolate. Nectariferous tube a little longer than 
the calyx, flattened on both sides, and gibbous at the 
base. Petals 5; the two upper ones broadest, obovate, 
attenuated to the base, unequal-sided, of a bright red,
