Radical leaves 1.5–4 cm, villous and glandular hairy; stipules linear, 4–5 mm, margin entire; petiole 1.5–2 cm; leaf blade once 3-parted; segments linear, entire or 2- or 3-sect; lower cauline leaves shortly petiolate, upper ones sessile; leaf blade 3–5-fid. Inflorescence paniculate, dichasially branched, many flowered; peduncle and pedicels slightly glandular hairy; bracts and bracteoles linear, 2–4 mm, pilose. Flowers 5–6 mm in diam.; pedicel 3–5 mm. Hypanthium tubular, 3–4 mm, abaxially pubescent at base, 10-veined. Sepals triangular-ovate, ca. 2 mm, pilose and glandular hairy, apex acuminate. Petals pink, obovate, 4–6 mm, glabrous, base tapering into a cuneate claw, apex rounded. Filaments shorter than petals, glabrous. Carpels 6–10, free. Achenes cylindric, ca. 2 mm, glabrous. Fl.
