Characterized by the decumbent habit with one to several slender stems from a woody base, the lower leaves oblong-cuneate and fairly coarsely lobed, the upper often narrowly oblong and lobed down to half the breadth of the leaf or in specimens from northern areas even deeper, but not to the midrib (pinnatifid), the subsparse, appressed, stellate pubescence of the young growth, the inflorescence of few-flowered, leafless, racemose cymes terminal on the ascending branches and branchlets, flowers secund and often crowded at the apex, the broadly campanulate (subinflated ?), glabrescent calyx usually about half as long as the petals and lobed to above the middle and the lobes broad-based.
