densely spreading- to very sparsely hairy at least in proximal 1/2.
densely spreading- to slightly reflexed-pubescent or only sparsely so in distal 1/2.
stipules translucent, usually strongly wine red-tinged proximally, lobes green;
blade usually reniform, sometimes orbiculate, shallowly 7–9-lobed, margins flat or slightly, rarely distinctly, undulate, basal sinuses usually wide, sometimes narrow, middle lobes rounded, shorter than to equal to their half-widths, sometimes longer;
incisions absent or relatively short to long;
teeth sometimes slightly connivent, slightly to strongly asymmetric, apex usually acute to subobtuse, sometimes obtuse, abaxial surface glabrous or hairy, nerves glabrous proximally or hairy throughout, adaxial sparsely to densely hairy throughout or on folds only.

blade reniform to orbiculate, 7–9-lobed, margins strongly plicate to undulate, basal sinuses closed, basal lobes overlapping (in plants from spring-flooded habitats, only cauline leaves with wide sinus may persist), middle lobes usually longer than their half-widths, as long as wide, longer than wide (with ± straight sides);
incisions absent;
teeth: proximal sides connivent or slightly so, sometimes slightly concave near apex, slightly to strongly asymmetric, apex subobtuse to obtuse, abaxial surface grass green to dark green, nerves hairy throughout, internerve regions irregularly or uniformly hairy, adaxial densely spreading-hairy throughout or only on margins and folds.
primary branches glabrous or densely pubescent;
peduncles glabrous or densely hairy.
