Stipules ovate-lance, glabrous or scattered shortly fibrous along the margin and veins; on the lower leaves 1.5 - 3 times shorter, on the middle ones flat, and on the upper ones 1.5 - 2 (3) times longer than the leaf petioles, pinnately or coarsely palmately cut or irregularly serrated to 1/2 - 2 / 3 of the width of the sheet; lateral shares 2 - 5 external and 1 - 2 internal, lance, obtuse or pointed; the middle slightly larger, elliptically lance. Flower petioles 5 - 12 cm long, glabrous, rarely short bristly fibrous to the middle, with bracts below the curve. Flowers 1 - 5 per stem, single in the axils of the middle and upper leaves, back ovoid to trapezoidal, 2.0 - 3.0 (3.5) cm high, 1.6 - 2.4 (3.0) cm wide, odorless. Sepals oblong-lance or linear-lance, strongly pointed, with appendages 10 - 18 mm long, 2.0 - 3.5 mm wide, glabrous or short-bristled, appendages rectangular, 3 - 4 mm long, serrated.
