Information Glabrous herb, probably perennial; stems slender, twining. Leaf-blade orbicular in outline, palmately divided to the base, up to 5 cm. in diameter, often much less; lobes 5, elliptic, obtuse and apiculate, the outer ones often bilobed, 2.6–4 cm. long, about 1 cm. wide; petiole 4.5 cm. long; pseudo-stipules present. Flowers axillary, solitary or in 2–3-flowered inflorescences; peduncle 4.5 cm. long; pedicels slender 1.7 cm. long. Sepals elliptic or almost orbicular, 2–5 mm. long, 1.3–2.5 mm. wide, obtuse but mucronulate, often tuberculate. Corolla rose-purple or dark mauve, funnel-shaped, 8–17 mm. long. Capsule globose, 8 mm. in diameter. Seeds brown, subglobose, 4–5.5 mm. long, velvety-pubescent, the edges with long white cottony hairs 5–10 mm. long.

Information Glabrous, herbaceous, annual or perennial twiner. Stems up to at least 1 m long. Leaves pseudostipulate (pseudostipules resembling leaves but much smaller), orbicular in outline, 20-60 mm in diameter, deeply palmately 5-lobed, outer lobes usually bilobed; lobes elliptic to lanceolate, entire, apex obtuse, apiculate, base narrowed; petiole 40-50 mm long. Flowers axil­lary, solitary or cymosely 2- or 3-flowered; peduncles 40-50 mm long, very slender; bracte-oles minute; pedicel 17 mm long, ± clavate. Sepals subequal, edges membranous, elliptic to orbicular, apex obtuse or rounded, mucronulate, 2-5 mm long, often tuberculate. Corolla funnel-shaped with subcylindric tube, purplish mauve, 10-18 mm long and spreading limb as wide. Capsule subglobose, glabrous, 8-10 mm long. Seeds subglobose, 5-6 mm long, brown, pubes­cent and with 5-10 mm long white hairs on edges. Flowering time March to July.

Information Annual or perennial glabrous herb. Stems very slender, twining or sometimes prostrate. Leaf-lamina circular in outline, palmately divided to the base, up to 5 cm. in diam., often much less; lobes elliptic to lanceolate 2·6–4 × 1 cm. usually obtuse and apiculate at the apex and narrowed and subpetiolued at the base, the outer ones often 2-lobed; petiole 4–5 cm. long; pseudostipules present resembling the leaves but much smaller. Flowers axillary, solitary or in 2–3-flowered inflorescences; peduncle 4–5 cm. long, very slender, almost filiform; pedicels slender but thicker than the peduncle, more or less 1·7 cm. long, somewhat subclavate; bracteoles minute. Sepals elliptic or almost orbicular, 3–5 mm. long, subequal with membranous edges, usually obtuse but mucronulate, often muriculate. Corolla funnel-shaped, rose-purple or dark mauve, 8–17 mm. long. Capsule globose, glabrous. Seeds subglobose, brown, velvety-pubescent, with 5–10 mm. long white cottony hairs at the edges.
