Spreading shrub 0.3-4 m tall. Branchlets tomentose to subvillous. Leaves ascending, 2-6 cm long, usually cuneate to very narrowly cuneate, 2-25 mm wide, and apically 2-5 (-9)-fid or-partite, or sometimes deeply 3-partite with weakly divaricate narrowly triangular lobes, or occasionally few to many (rarely all?) leaves narrowly elliptic and entire and 2-6 mm wide; teeth or lobes entire, subtriangular to oblong, 1-20 mm long, 2-4 (-7?) mm wide; margins refracted; lower surface exposed, either sericeous to subsericeous (hairs appressed) or open-tomentose to-subvillous (hairs ascending to spreading). Unit conflorescence erect to decurved, broadly and shortly secund, acropetal; floral rachis 4-20 (-25) mm long, glabrous or sparsely to densely tomentose. Flowers acroscopic; pedicels glabrous or with a few hairs. Perianth outside with few to many appressed to ascending hairs on limb, hairs often sparse or absent below, bearded inside. Pistil 6.5-11 mm long, glabrous; pollen-presenter oblique. Follicle narrowly ovoid to narrowly ellipsoidal, 9.5-15 mm long, glabrous, faintly colliculose.
