Information

Stems slender, glabrous or sparsely pilose. Leaf-lamina 2–9 × 2·7–9·5 cm., membraneous, broadly ovate, ovate, broadly triangular or triangular in outline, subtruncate, weakly cordate, hastate or sagittate at the base, finely scabrid-punctate above, shortly setulose on veins beneath, plane or usually remotely and minutely sinuate-denticulate at the margins, unlobed or shortly to very deeply palmately 3-lobed, the lobes triangular to linear, ± acuminate, obtuse to acute, apiculate, the central largest. Petioles 0·9–4·0 cm. long, shortly setulose. Flowers monoecious. male flowers solitary, axillary; pedicels 8–24 mm. long, slender. Receptacle-tube 1–2·5 mm. long, lobes 0·3–1·5 mm. long, dentiform. Petals 1·5–6 mm. long, white, becoming cream with age. female flowers solitary, often co-axillary with male; pedicels 7–61 mm. long, slender; ovary 6–12 × 1–2 mm., fusiform. Perianth as in male flowers. Fruit 15–45 × 7–14 mm., fusiform, red; pedicel 10–53 mm. long. Seeds 3·2–4·4 × 2·0–2·5 × 0·3–0·5 mm., ovate in outline, smooth bi-convex.
