English: rostrate or trailing herb. Roots tuberous, the tuber sub-woody, moderately rostrate. Stem filiform, glabrous. Leaves cordate in outline, deeply 5–7-palmately lobed, the central lobe acuminate, the lateral lobes with an emarginate, shortly mucronate apex; lamina 4 × 5 cm; margins irregularly dissected; adaxial surface hispid with simple yellowish hairs, abaxial surface glabrous; petiole glabrous, 1–1.5 cm long. Inflorescences of axillary 1–2-flowered cymes; peduncles filiform, glabrous, 5–7 cm long, nearly as long as the leaves, about 4 times longer than the petioles; bracteoles lanceolate, c. 2mm long; pedicels filiform, glabrous, 0.3 cm long. Sepals 5, appressed to the corolla tube, glabrous, unequal, the 2 outer shorter, narrowly elliptic, 1.4 × 0.3 cm, apex shortly acuminate; inner sepals longer, narrowly elliptic, 2 × 0.3 cm, apex shortly acuminate. Corolla funnelform, bright (sulphur-)yellow, 3.5 – 4 cm long, glabrous. Stamens unequal in length, 2 short and 3 long, shortly pubescent at the base of the filaments, yellow; anthers white, spirally twisting at dehiscence; pollen not known.
