Stems robust, terete, reddishbrown, pruinose, glabrescent, with crowded, rather long glands and acides; the numerous, unequal prickles weak and deflexed or occasionally falcate. Leaflets mostly 3, sparsely hairy on both surfaces; terminal leaflet elliptical or elliptic-obovate, shortly acuminate, more or less entire at base, usually finely and evenly serrate. Inflorescence broad, rather short, subcorymbose at apex, with 1-3 simple leaves, glandular on both surfaces; pedicels long; axis densely pubescent, densely glandular-aciculate, with many glands longer than the diameter of the axis; prickles often purpleblack; flowers up to 2-5 cm in diameter. Sepals appressed to the developing fruit, triangular-ovate-attenuate, tomentose, green, glandular, aculeolate; petals oblanceolate, fimbriate at apex, white; stamens white, but drying pink, scarcely equalling the green- or red-based styles; receptacle pubescent; carpels glabrous. 2« = 28.
