Horticultural Information
Intro: Erect-ascending perennial of moist to wet forests and woodlands, especially in base-rich soils.
Stems: Stems 1-several, branched, sparsely hairy.
Leaves: Leaves alternate, mostly on lower 1/2 of stem, on petioles with 2-toothed, lobed, lance to oval stipules at the base; pinnately divided into 3-9 (usually 5) toothed, oblong-oval leaflets, with a single pair of much smaller leaflets between each pair of major leaflets; terminal leaflet is largest, and all are smooth to sparsely hairy above and gland-dotted below.

Flowers: Flowers spaced along an elongated, stalked-glandular, terminal spike (there may be 1 or 2 shorter racemes in upper leaf axils); yellow, about 1/4 in. wide, with 5 spreading petals attached to the rim of a slightly hairy, ribbed, cup-shaped structure (ovary fused with calyx), and a central tuft of about 10-15 stamens.
