blade almost reniform to broadly cuneate-flabellate, 3–5(–7)-lobed, shallowly cleft, (0.5–) 1–2(–4) cm, base cordate to truncate, surfaces glabrous or copiously pubescent, sparsely stipitate-glandular to downy to conspicuously stipitate-glandular and sessile-glandular, particularly noticeable on margins, lobes rounded, margins coarsely crenate-dentate, apex obtuse.

petiole 0.7–2 cm, hairy, with longer and often plumose hairs and elongated glands near base, short-stipitate glands absent;

blade roundish, 3-lobed, cleft nearly to midrib, 1.7–3 cm, base broadly cuneate to rounded or subcordate, sometimes truncate, surfaces not glandular, villous-tomentose abaxially, puberulent to hirsute, glabrescent adaxially, lobes straight-sided to sometimes cuneate, margins toothed, apex rounded.

pendent, solitary flowers or 2–8(–9)-flowered racemes, 1–3 cm, axis finely pubescent, ± sticky with short-stalked to subsessile glands, flowers tightly clustered at end of peduncle.

pendent, solitary flowers or 2–4-flowered corymbs, 3–5 cm, axis glabrous or sparsely lanate to pilose and puberulent, sparingly stipitate-glandular, flowers evenly spaced.

jointed, (0.4–)1–2.2(–3.4) mm, puberulent;

bracts flabellate or ovate to obovate, 3–7(–8.8) mm, pubescent, stipitate-glandular.

not jointed, 5–13 mm, glabrous;

bracts broadly ovate, 2–2.5 mm, ciliate.

hypanthium white to greenish white with pink tinge, or pinkish white, narrowly tubular, tube widest at base and near throat, 5–9(–9.4) mm, densely hairy and scattered stipitate-glandular abaxially, glabrous adaxially;

sepals not overlapping, spreading-recurved, greenish white to white or faintly to strongly pinkish tinged, deltate-ovate, 1–3.2 mm;

petals connivent, erect, white to pink, orbiculate or flabellate, not conspicuously revolute or inrolled, 1–2.1 mm;

anthers pale cream-yellow to yellow, oval, 0.6–1.2 mm, apex with small, cup-shaped gland;

ovary glabrous or hairy or sparsely to densely pubescent;

styles connate nearly to stigmas, 7.5–11.5 mm, proximally hairy or glabrous.

hypanthium greenish white, narrowly tubular, 1.5–2.5 mm, glabrous;

sepals not overlapping, spreading to reflexed, pale green to white, linear-oblong, 5–7 mm;

petals connivent, erect, pale green to nearly white, becoming pink tinged, cuneate-obovate, not conspicuously revolute or inrolled, 2–3.5 mm;

nectary disc not prominent;

stamens 3–5 times as long as petals;

filaments linear, 15 mm, glabrous;

anthers cream to pale pink, oblong-sagittate, 2 mm, apex rounded;

ovary glabrous;

styles connate nearly 7/8 their lengths, 10–14 mm, glabrous.
