Like 1 but sometimes hairier; leaf-lobes broadly triangular to lanceolate, seldom constricted at the base and sometimes overlapping; epicalyx-segments c. 4-5 cm, triangular-ovate, with marginal, long-acuminate teeth usually more than 3 times as long as wide; petals entirely yellow; filaments 4-6 mm, the upper longer than the lower; capsule 4-6 cm, ovoid. Cultivated in S. Europe, and perhaps locally naturalized. [?A1 Cr G r It Rm.] (Probably originated in Peru; cultivated in tropical America and southern U.S.A.)
