plant 4–6 in. high, branching at the base; stems often numerous, decumbent-spreading, bifariously pubescent, or sometimes thinly and rather harshly pubescent all round; leaves secund-spreading; petiole 1/2– 3/4 lin. long; blade 2 1/2–10 lin. long, 1 1/2–3 1/2 lin. broad at the truncate, subsagittate or subhastate base, thence tapering to a very acute apex, glabrous above, slightly scabrous on the margins and subhispid on the midrib beneath; umbels solitary, rarely 2 to a stem, terminal, pedunculate, 6–9-flowered; peduncle 1/4–1 3/4 in. long, pubescent, chiefly on one side; bracts 1–2 lin. long, subulate, pubescent; pedicels unequal, 2–6 lin. long, so that the umbel is flat-topped, pubescent or puberulous; sepals 1–1 1/2 lin. long, 1/2– 3/4 lin. broad, ovate-lanceolate, very acute, pubescent; corolla-lobes reflexed, 2 lin. long, 1 1/4–1 1/2 lin. broad, ovate, subacute, glabrous on both sides, but the inner face with a very minutely papillose surface, sometimes minutely ciliate on one margin; corona-lobes arising at the base of the staminal column and shortly overtopping it, 1–1 1/2 lin. long, erect, cucullate, but dorsally flattened, so that the inflexed sides are pressed against the inner face of the lobe and end in deltoid acute contiguous teeth, which incurve upon the back of the anther appendages, but do not exceed them, and are much shorter than the ovate obtuse apical part of the lobe; staminal column 3/4–1 lin. long; anther-appendages subreniform or transversely elliptic, very obtuse, erect, not inflexed over the pentagonal style-apex; follicles solitary, fusiform, tapering into a beak, smooth and glabrous, only an immature example seen. null
