petiole 1–5 cm, pubescent and stipitate-glandular;

blade roundish, 3–5-lobed, cleft nearly 1/4 to midrib, 2–6 cm, base deeply cordate, surfaces stipitate-glandular, glands colorless, and tomentose abaxially, rough-hairy adaxially, (dark green and rugose), lobes deltate, margins biserrate, apex obtuse.

petiole (0.4–)1–3(–4.8) cm, margins of young leaves often with slender extensions like multicelled hairs, surfaces finely pubescent, glabrescent;
