Corolla lemon-yellow or greenish-cream, often with a brown, claret or purple centre, funnel-shaped, (1.5–)3 cm. long; midpetaline areas glabrous to strigose above..

A creeping herb. It keeps growing from year to year. It can lie along the ground or be twining. It can be 2.5 m long. It has a taproot.

The often occur singly in the axils of the leaves. The fruit is an oval capsule. There are 4 seeds.
Prostrate or twining perennial herb. Leaf lamina 5-9-lobed; lobes linear to lanceolate, up to 70 x 14 mm. Sepals 8-12 mm long. Corolla 20-30 mm long. Bracts small, linear. Capsule papyraceous. Flowers pale yellow or sulphur-yellow with deep red, maroon or deep magenta centre.
Corolla pale yellow or sulphur-yellow with a deep red, maroon or deep magenta centre, up to 3 cm. long, broadly funnel-shaped; limb faintly lobed, spreading; midpetaline areas sparsely pubescent towards the apex.
Leaf lamina deeply palmately 5–7 (9)-lobed (lower most lobes sometimes unequally forked); lobes narrowly linear to lanceolate, acute or obtuse, mucronulate, 0·8–7 × 0·3–1·4 cm.; petiole 1·2–2·5 cm. long, slender.
Inflorescence solitary or occasionally cymosely 2–3 flowered; peduncle 1–6·5 cm. long, slender; bracts small, linear; pedicels 0·5–2·5 cm. long, somewhat thicker upwards.
