Shrubs, usually scrambling or climbing, sometimes climbing up to 7 m high in trees; ultimate branchlets 4-30 cm long, angled(at least in parts), angles ridged, glabrous to variously pubescent from thinly so to tomentulose and densely pubescent with crisped hairs. Leaves 3-foliolate, or occasionally a few pinnately 5-foliolate; petioles usually ascending, rarely patently spreading, 0.4-2 cm long, glabrous, thinly pubescent or tomentulose; leaflets glabrous, thinly pubescent or tomentulose on both surfaces, acarodomatia often present on under surface in axils of lower veins, usually broadly ovate, sometimes oblong, variable in shape, with apex acute, mucronate or rounded, the terminal 1.3-4.5 cm long and 0.6-2.5 cm broad, with a petiolule 0.3-2 cm long, rarely lobed at the base and when deeply lobed forming a pinnately 5-foliolate leaf; lateral leaflets usually distinctly smaller than the terminal with a petiolule 2-6 mm long, sometimes longer. Inflorescence of 1 or 2 terminal, rather compact cymes (the leaves in pressed specimens usually concealing the base of the inflorescence), pedicels of lateral flowers about 1-2 cm long, usually glabrous, sometimes thinly pubescent or rarely densely so. Calyx campanulate, usually glabrous, tube 2.5-3 mm long, 7-toothed, teeth about 1.5 mm long, varying in size. Corolla white, usually greenish outside (rarely pink, fide Galpin); tube 1.7-3.5 cm long; lobes 5, about 1-1.5 cm long, 6-7 mm broad. Stamens inserted in upper portion of tube, included; filaments 2 mm long; anthers 2.5 mm long, distinctly apiculate, apicule 1 mm long. Ovary brown, 1.5 mm long; style ultimately e x serted, 2-lobed, lobes about 5 mm long. Fruit a globose berry, often in pairs, about 7 mm diam.
