Flora of North America species comparison

sparsely appressed-hairy throughout or glabrous in distal 1/2.

appressed-hairy throughout (hairs becoming looser and ± ascending distally).

stipules translucent, colorless, usually flushed pale wine red proximally, apex pale green, sometimes with pale wine red margins and veins;

blade reniform-orbiculate, 7–9-lobed, margins flat, basal sinuses narrow or closed, middle lobes as long as and rounded to longer than their half-widths;

incisions long or short, 2–5 mm;

teeth usually connivent, symmetric to slightly asymmetric, apex acute, abaxial surface with nerves hairy throughout or in distal 1/2 only, internerve regions usually glabrous (except sometimes on 2 basal lobes), adaxial glabrous or slightly hairy at margin.

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.

primary branches glabrous.

primary branches densely appressed- to ascending-hairy;

peduncles appressed- to ascending-hairy or glabrous.

glabrous.

epicalyx bractlet lengths 0.5 times to almost equal to sepals (always narrower);

hypanthium glabrous.

epicalyx bractlet lengths 0.5 times to almost equal to sepals (narrower);

hypanthium glabrous or sparsely appressed-hairy (on proximalmost flowers).
