Sub-shrubs with erect or straggling stems about 40 cm long from a creeping rhizome. Twigs ridged or angled, glabrous or thinly to densely pubescent with straight or crisped hairs. Leaves digitately 5-foliolate, sometimes 3-, 4- or 7-foliolate; petiole flattened, 1 • 5-5 mm long, rarely up to 12 mm long; leaflets with the central the largest, 12-40 mm long, and 2-9 mm broad, rarely larger, the lateral smaller and the outermost still smaller, glabrous or sparsely to densely pubescent with straight or crisped hairs, linear-lanceolate, lanceolate to ovate-lanceolate, apiculate at the apex, cuneate at the base into a petiolule-like claw, claw varying in length, that of the central leaf usually the longest, up to 5 mm long, rarely longer. Inflorescence terminal, sometimes also axillary in the upper pair of leaves, cymes 1- to 3-flowered, the terminal and axillary forming what appears to be a subcorymbose inflorescence; peduncle 0 to 20 mm long, glabrous or pubescent; pedicels 3-12 mm long, of some lateral 1-flowered cymes from axils of upper leaves up to 20 mm long, glabrous or pubescent. Calyx glabrous, tube about 2-5 mm long, 5-6 toothed, teeth somewhat unequal, 1-2-5 mm long, rarely up to 3 mm long, triangular with margins folded inwards, sometimes conduplicate, apiculate, sinuses U-shaped. Corolla white, tube 18-22 mm long, 5-6-lobed; lobes 10-12 mm long and about 4 mm broad. Stamens apiculate, included in the plants with long-styled flowers and sub-exserted in plants with short styled flowers. Ovary quadrate, about 1 • 5 mm long; style 2-lobed, lobes 3 mm long, short or eventually exserted. Fruit twin berries, often only 1 developing, globose, about 5 mm diam.
