Caulescent, lax, 10-16 cm high. Root yellowish, with a few rootlets or subsimple. Apical leaves scarcely more numerous than the lower, more or less sparse, with long petioles; leaflets cuneate-obcordate, not deeply incised, the larger 12 mm long, 13 mm broad, softly pubescent on both faces or glabrescent beneath, the petioles unequal, 2-15 cm long, 3-12 times as long as the lamina, pubescent or pilose. Peduncles 1-5-fld., cauline (including the flowers) 1-2 times as long as the leaves, like the pedicels and calyx densely clothed with spreading hairs, rarely glabrescent, lax, more or less erect. Bracts deciduous, more or less numerous, linear or subulate, somewhat obtuse, fairly densely clothed with spreading sub-setose hairs, 1-5 mm long, membranaceous, reddish-callose at the apex. Pedicels 0.5-4 cm long, very unequal, 4-10 times shorter than the peduncles. Sepals lanceolate, acuminate, sharply acute, 5-7 mm long, membranaceous, callose, but scarcely purplish at the apex, setose-hirsute. Corolla 12-13 mm long, at length “tubuliform”, 2 1/2-3 1/2 times as long as the sepals, pale, yellowish at the base; petals spathulate-cuneate, retuse-rotund at the upper margin. Longer stamens about as long as the sepals.
