Stems relatively hairy at the nodes. Leaf blades tending to have more lobes, those of the larger leaves mostly 5-lobed, even those of smaller leaves palmately veined with 5 main veins from the base, the undersurface moderately to densely pubescent along the veins and often also between them, the midvein with mostly more than 20 hairs per cm, also densely glandular with stalked glands, the surface between the veins mostly with more than 35 glands per square cm. July–October.

Uncommon, known thus far only from Vernon County (western U.S. east to North Dakota, Kansas, and New Mexico; Canada, Mexico). Banks of streams and edges of bottomland forests.

The Missouri plants were first collected in 1998 by Stephen Timme of Pittsburg State University. They are the easternmost occurrence of the variety and somewhat disjunct from the closest populations in western Kansas.
