Slender shrub, 0.5-1.5 m tall. Stem sparsely branched, mainly at ground level, branches glabrous. Leaves regularly arranged along the upper parts of the branches, 90-270 mm x 50-160 mm; blade ovate to broadly ovate, 2-pinnate. Ultimate leaflet segments rhomboid to obovate, becoming narrowly ovate on leaves near the base of the peduncle, 20-50 mm x 15-35 mm, 3-lobed to 3-partite, usually irregularly toothed over upper half or two thirds; teeth prominent near the base but often becoming less conspicuous near the apex; margins irregularly serrate or less often lacerate, the sinuses markedly rounded; base cuneate to obtuse, often asymmetrical; sometimes revolute (folded over to a width of 0.5-1.0 mm); venation clearly reticulate; discolorous, adaxial surface green; abaxial surface glaucous. Petioles up to 60(100) mm long, sheathing at the base only. Inflorescence long (more than two times longer than the diameter of the primary umbel), with (0)2-6(8) lateral umbels. Primary umbel with (10)17-28(42) rays, slightly orbicular; bracts linear to lanceolate, apex acuminate, glabrous; rays (23)30-44(46) mm long, unequal or subequal, glabrous; bracteoles linear to lanceolate, apex acuminate, glabrous or sometimes slightly scabrous, usually shorter than raylets; raylets glabrous. Flowers with sepals minute, 0.1-0.2 mm long, apex obtuse to acute, glabrous; petals glabrous. Fruit elliptic, 5.5-6.5 mm x 3.0 mm; mericarps heteromorphic; median rib in one mericarp more prominent than lateral ribs, lateral ribs in other mericarp more prominent than median rib; marginal ribs narrowly-winged; commissural vittae broad; vallecular vittae broad; additional vittae under vascular bundles in ribs, smaller than vallecular vittae.

Like N. galbanum but leaflets irregularly-toothed, margins often prominently revolute, peduncle long and well branched, umbels usually with < 30 rays and fruit mericarps heteromorphic.
