stem very short; leaves thickish, glabrescent, pubescent or villous, especially underneath, cordate, obtuse, pinnate-lobulate, and bluntly toothed, the lobules short and round; stipules cordate, acute, membranous; calyx setulose, the segments linear, acute, shorter than the obovate, brown-disked petals, This in somewhat resembles P. lobatum, but the leaves are much smaller, of thicker substance, quite simple, with no disposition to become tri-partite, more obtusely toothed, and much less hairy, sometimes nearly glabrous above, and only sparsely pubescent below.
