Plants 5--40 cm tall, glabrous. Roots fibrous. Rhizome slender. Stems simple or rarely branched, erect. Leaves 4 or more, all basal; petiole 1.5--3 cm; leaf blade pinnately 2-ternate, 1.5--4 cm; leaflets cuneate-obovate to orbicular-ovate, 3--5 × 3--5(--20) mm, thinly leathery, apex 3(--5)-lobed; lobes crenate. Inflorescence racemelike, few flowered; peduncle simple or branched. Pedicel erect or recurved at anthesis, recurved in fruit. Sepals early deciduous, purplish tinged, ovate to elliptic, ca. 2 mm. Stamens 7--10(--15); filament purplish, filiform; anther yellow, 1.2--3 mm, apex mucronate. Carpels (2--)3--5(--6); stigma purple, narrowly triangular, equaling ovary. Achenes shortly stipitate or sessile; body narrowly ovoid to lanceolate-obovoid, 2--3.5 mm; persistent style broadly triangular; veins ca. 8, stout. Fl. Jun--Aug.
Stems erect, scapose, or nearly scapose with very slender rhizomes, (3-)5-20(-30) cm, glabrous. Leaves all basal or single cauline leaf near base, 2-10 cm. Leaf blade 2×-pinnately compound, proximal primary divisions ternate; leaflets cuneate-obovate to orbiculate, apically 3-5-lobed, 2-10 mm, surfaces glabrous. Inflorescences racemes, usually elongate, few flowered. Flowers: pedicels recurved in fruit; sepals early deciduous, purplish tinged, ovate or elliptic, 1-2.3(-2.7) mm; stamens 8-15; filaments purple; anthers bright yellow, 1.5-3 mm; stigmas purple. Achenes 2-6, nearly sessile; body lance-obovoid, 2-3.5 mm, with thick veins. 2 n = 14, 21.
Perennial, 5-15 cm when flowering, up to 30 cm when fruiting, stem glabrous, simple, rarely branched, usually without leaves. Basal leaves bipinnate, 2-10 cm long with petiole, linear-obong, pinnules in 2-5 pairs, obovate, lowermost with 1-2 pairs of leaflets, leaflets 3-5 x 2-4 mm, coriaceous, shiny above, glabrous, obovate, cuneate, incised, lobes usually dentate, teeth rounded at apex. Flowers arranged in a simple terminal raceme, bracts narrowly linear. Pedicels 2-5 mm in flower, upto 10 mm in fruit, ultimately bent down wards, glabrous or papillate. Sepals 4, 2-3 x 1 mm, elliptical, glabrous or glandular. Stamens 8-10, filaments + 3 mm, filiform, purplish, anthers yellowish, indistinctly mucronate. Carpels 3-5, 2-3 x 1 mm, sessile or shortly stalked, curved downwards, with 6 lateral ribs, glabrous, style very short.
