appressed-hairy throughout (hairs becoming looser and ± ascending distally).
densely spreading- to very sparsely hairy at least in proximal 1/2.
stipules translucent to pale green, appearing brownish upon drying;
petiole thickly, usually densely appressed-hairy throughout, rarely glabrous or sparsely hairy (on spring leaves);
blade reniform to orbiculate, 7–9-lobed, margins undulate, basal sinuses narrow, middle lobes equal to longer than their half-widths;
incisions absent;
teeth: sometimes proximal sides at least slightly connivent, slightly concave near apex, slightly asymmetric, apex subobtuse to acute, abaxial surface with nerves hairy throughout, internerve regions ± hairy throughout, adaxial light to grass green, sometimes glaucous, margins and folds usually turning reddish orange, sparsely to densely appressed-hairy throughout or only on folds.
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.
primary branches densely appressed- to ascending-hairy;
peduncles appressed- to ascending-hairy or glabrous.
primary branches glabrous or densely pubescent;
peduncles glabrous or densely hairy.
mostly glabrous or some of the proximal hairy.
