Botanical Description
This is an annual. The stems are up to 120cm, erect or ascending, more or less strigose with simple or few-rayed, deflexed hairs.
The leaves are 3-6 x 2.5-7cm, suborbicular-cordate. The upper leaves are somewhat 3- to 7-lobed. The petiole is 9-13cm. The stipules are 5-8mm, ovate-acuminate, caduceus.
The flowers are solitary in the leaf-axils. The pedicel is usually exceeding the subtending petiole. The epicalyx-segments are shorter than the sepals, accrescent, united for most of their length, the free part broadly ovate, cuspidate. The sepals are 9-14mm, oblong-lanceolate, acute, connivent in fruit. The petals are 2-4.5cm, bright pink.
There are circa 12 mericarps, glabrous, ridged, covered by a disc-like expansion of the central axis. The dorsal face and angles are rounded.
