petiole 0.5–2.5 cm, with long, glandular hairs at base;

blade roundish to pentangular, 3–5-lobed, cleft less than 1/4 to midrib, 1–4 cm, base cordate, surfaces white-tomentose abaxially, hairy and stipitate-glandular adaxially, lobes deltate, margins crenate, apex obtuse.

spreading to pendent, 5–18(–25)-flowered racemes, 3–4 cm, axis reddish stipitate-glandular and puberulent, flowers evenly spaced.

spreading, 10–25-flowered racemes, 2–5 cm, axis glandular-pubescent, flowers evenly spaced.

jointed (joint sometimes obscured by glands and difficult to see especially on short pedicels; may appear as darker line immediately proximal to ovary), 2–10 mm, glandular-bristly;

bracts linear-lanceolate, 1.8–4 mm, puberulent and reddish or purplish stipitate-glandular.

jointed, 1–2 mm, pubescent, stipitate-glandular;

bracts narrowly lanceolate, 2–4 mm, crisped-puberulent, stipitate-glandular.

hypanthium cream to orangish, shallowly saucer-shaped to crateriform, (0.7–)1–1.2(–1.5) mm, glabrous;

sepals somewhat overlapping, spreading or reflexed, cream to pale yellowish green or dull reddish brown, reddish color deepening with age, very broadly ovate-oblong, 1.5–3.5 mm;

petals widely separated, erect, pale yellowish green distally and reddish proximally to reddish throughout, broadly fan-shaped to semicircular, cuneate-flabellate, not conspicuously revolute or inrolled, 1–1.5(–1.7) mm;

nectary disc prominent, pinkish, raised, angled, covering most of ovary;

stamens slightly longer than petals;

filaments linear, 1.1–1.7 mm, glabrous;

anthers yellow, transversely oblong, 0.5–1 mm, broader than long, apex blunt;

ovary sparsely to thickly stipitate-glandular with slender, usually reddish- to purplish-tipped hairs, rarely glabrous;

styles connate to middle, 1.4–2 mm, glabrous.

hypanthium greenish white, narrowly tubular-urceolate, 2.5–5 mm, pubescent, stipitate-glandular;

sepals not overlapping, recurved, white, oblong to ovate, 1–2 mm;

petals nearly connivent, erect, white, flabellate to spatulate-obovate, not conspicuously revolute or inrolled, 0.5–1 mm;

nectary disc not prominent;

stamens nearly as long as petals;

filaments broadened at base, ca. 0.2 mm, pubescent;

anthers white, ovate, 0.5–0.8 mm, apex minutely apiculate;

ovary tomentose, stipitate-glandular;

styles connate nearly to stigmas, 3–4 mm, tomentose entire length.

palatable but insipid, red, becoming black or dark purple, ellipsoid, 4–8(–14) mm, slenderly stipitate-glandular, bristly with reddish stipitate-glandular hairs.

palatability not known, purple, globose, 6–7 mm, hairy, stipitate-glandular.
