Information Shrubby herb or shrub up to 2 m tall, glabrous to densely pubescent. Leaves with petiole 1.5–9 cm long; blade ± broadly ovate, sometimes shallowly 3-lobed, 2–13 x 1.5–11 cm, rounded to cordate at the base, acuminate to rounded at the apex, with serrate margins. Flowers in leaf axils; pedicels 5–10 mm long, articulated at the base. Epicalyx bracts 5(–6), 10–20 x 1–3 mm, linear-acuminate, 1–3-veined. Calyx 12–20 mm long; lobes with prominent central nerve and two slightly weaker lateral nerves. Petals 4–6 cm long, yellow, with or without dark base; column 15–25 mm long. Capsule 15–25 mm long, subglobose, longer than calyx, setulose, with acute to aristate valves. Seeds 3–4 mm long, glabrous, with concentric lines.

Information Shrub up to 2 m. tall or somewhat woody perennial herb; stems nearly glabrous. Leaf-lamina up to 10 × 7 cm., ovate to narrowly ovate or ovate-lanceolate, glabrous or nearly so (with occasional hairs on the veins of the lower surface), rarely obscurely 3–5-lobed, apex acute or somewhat rounded, margin coarsely serrate, serrate, or crenate, base obtuse, truncate or slightly cordate; petiole up to 6 cm. long, usually nearly glabrous except for a longitudinal line of pubescence on the adaxial surface; stipules 5–6 mm. long, filiform to narrowly linear, usually glabrous. Flowers up to c. 8 cm. in diam., yellow with dark centre, solitary, axillary; peduncle up to 10 mm. long, glabrous or puberulous, not conspicuously articulated. Epicalyx of (usually) 5 bracts; bracts up to 20 × 2 mm., lorate, glabrous or nearly so, approximately equalling the calyx-lobes, joined for 1–2 mm. at the base. Calyx up to 20 mm. long, nearly glabrous; lobes ± lorate or caudate with 1 prominent central nerve, nearly glabrous, joined for up to c. 7 mm. at the base. Petals up to 7·7 × 4·5 cm., obovate, pubescent outside where not overlapping, densely tomentellous in bud. Staminal tube 20–25 mm. long; free parts of filaments 2·5–3 mm. long. Style-branches 3–4 mm. long. Capsule 15–20 mm. in diam., subglobose, stellate-setulose, valves gradually attenuated into awns up to 6 mm. long. Seeds 2·5 × 3 mm., subreniform, minutely stellate-puberulous.

Information Shrub or perennial herb up to 3 m. tall; stems tomentose or pubescent when young, later glabrescent. Leaf-lamina up to 12 × 12 cm., suborbicular in outline, obscurely or distinctly 3–5-lobed, stellate-pubescent or stellate-pilosulose above, stellate-pubescent or stellate-pilose or stellate-tomentose beneath, apex acute, margin serrate, base cordate or subcordate; petiole usually up to 9 (18) cm. long, stellate-pilose; stipules up to 15 mm. long, filiform or subsetaceous, somewhat expanded at the base. Flowers up to 12 cm. in diam., yellow usually with a brownish or dark red centre, solitary, axillary; peduncle c. 7 (10) mm. long, stellate-pubescent, usually rather inconspicuously articulated near the base. Epicalyx of 5 bracts, stellate-pubescent; bracts up to 18 mm. long, varying greatly in shape but nearly always broadest near the middle then narrowed suddenly to a caudate tip which is a prolongation of the midrib, joined for 3–4 mm. at the base. Calyx up to 16 mm. long, stellate-tomentellous; lobes ovate to ovate-lanceolate, usually 3-nerved, joined to nearly half-way. Petals up to 6 × 4·5 cm., obliquely obovate, pubescent outside, glabrous within. Staminal tube up to 15 mm. long; free parts of filaments 1·5–3 mm. long. Style-branches 4–5 mm. long. Capsule 25 × 15 mm., ellipsoid; valves aristate. Seeds 3 × 2·5 mm., subreniform, tomentellous.
