Stem suffrutescent, apparently biennial, or sometimes
continuing for several years, as we have seen them at Mr.
Westland’s Nursery, at Dorking, very hard and frutescent
at the base. Petioles thickly clothed, as is every other part
of the plant, with glandular glutinous hairs. Leaves very
variable: lower ones on long footstalks, oblongly-oval,
nearly entire, or with a blunt notch or 2 on each side :
those higher up the stem oblongly-oval, tapering both to
the base and point, generally producing about 4 shallow
obtuse lobes on each side : smaller leaves lanceolate, acute.
