Apparently a dwarf bramble with the flowering stems covered, especially thickly above, with ochreous, ± spreading hairs interspersed with many small, hooked or straightly deflexed prickles up to 2 mm. long.. Leaves trifoliolate (or simple within the inflorescence); leaflets broadly ovate or obovate, 2.8–4 × 2.4–3.6 cm., or the lateral ones more elliptic or obovate-elliptic and not exceeding 3 × 1.8 cm., acute to very obtuse or rounded, basally cuneate to rounded, with serratures up to 2 mm. deep, all jagged and sometimes markedly so, green on both surfaces but darker above with ochreous hairs and more densely hairy on the midrib and nerves below, with the intervening tissues glabrous.. Stipules linear or linear-lanceolate.. Inflorescence apparently leafy, short and congested, 6 × 3 cm., of obscure shape, consisting of a few, small, axillary flowers borne singly on pedicels up to 5 (?–10) mm. long.. Calyx 7–8 mm. long, deeply divided into ovate-lanceolate, caudate-acuminate lobes ± 6.5 mm. long, covered with long ochreous hairs on the outer side, tomentose within, slightly aculeolate, apparently clasping.. Petals white, 3.75 × 2.8 mm., broadly ovate, somewhat truncate.. Carpels glabrous.. Fruit about 1.2 cm. long, “red when unripe and perhaps also when ripe.”
