Leaves 1-3 in. [2.5-7.5 cm] in diam., orbicular, with a deep acute, but rather open, sinus at the base, thin, membranous. False petioles ½-5/8 lin. [1.0-1.3 mm] thick, bearing 8-18 flowers in a cluster, 1-3 lin. [2-6 mm] below the leaf-blade. Pedicels ½-1¼ in. [1.3-3.1 cm] long, ⅓-2/5 lin. thick. Sepals 1¼-1½ lin. [2.6-3.2 mm] long, oblong to deltoid-ovate, acute or subobtuse. Corolla-lobes very sparingly ciliate, with a median ciliate crest and 1 or more lines of a few hairs on each side. Fruit globose, equalling or shorter than the sepals, 2-10-seeded. Seeds compressed-globose, ¾ lin. [1.6 mm] in diam., ½ lin. [1.1 mm] thick, subcarinate, thinly covered with small and very prominent tubercles, which are sometimes absent from the centre, ochreous.
