Leaf blades green or gray to gray-green, lanceolate to triangular, shallowly to deeply 3-lobed, (1.5–)3–7 cm, not rugose, base truncate to cuneate, margins crenate to dentate, surfaces hirsute or sparsely to densely stellate soft-pubescent. Inflorescences paniculate, narrow, usually crowded, tip leafy or not; involucellar bractlets green to tan. Flowers: sepals 4.5–6(–9) mm; petals red-orange or lavender, 8–13 mm; anthers yellow.
