Characteristics

Rather coarse climbers, densely puberulent throughout. Leaves petiolate, simple, basifixed, broadly 3-lobed, the lobes rounded and occasionally mucronulate, the central lobe far stronger, the base rounded to somewhat cordate, 5-10 cm. long, 4-8 cm. broad; petioles 1-3 cm. long, the glands rather inconspicuous and broadly poculiform; stipules inconspicuous and filiform. Inflorescences usually paired, corymbiform, typically bearing 2 or more greenish white or yellow flowers upon a very short common peduncle, the associated tendril basal; common peduncles 2-4 mm. long; pedicels about 1 cm. long; bracts inconspicuous and filiform. Flowers about 2-4 cm. in diameter, sepals oblong-elliptic, about 1.5 cm. long; petals broadly elliptic, about 1 cm. long; filaments of the corona in 2 series, the outer nearly as long as the petals, flushed with yellow and purple. Fruit globose, about 1.5 cm. in diameter.
