Russia Flora: Plant, up to 40 (50) cm tall. Stems and petioles of basal leaves in lower parts densely pubescent with relatively soft, white, appressed or semi-appressed, downward-deflected hairs. Basal leaves 3-3.5 cm long, 5-6 cm wide, reniform, twice ternately dissected into more or less similar sized, broadly obovate, sometimes almost fan-shaped primary segments, often with base drawn into short petiolule up to 5(7) mm long; secondary segments unevenly incised-dentate, sparsely or scattered hairy along margin, sometimes almost glabrous; all segments with converging lateral sides, shallowly overlapping each other or sometimes only touching. Inflorescence umbel-like, sometimes reduced to a single flower. Peduncles at beginning of flowering usually 1.5-2 times longer than cauline leaves, rarely almost equal to them, noticeably elongating in fruit becoming 2-3 times longer than cauline leaves. Flowers 2.5-3(3.5) cm in diameter. Perianth segments 5-6, about 5-8 mm wide, obovate, white. Nutlets up to 6(7) mm long, brown. 2n = 14 (Sokolovskaya, 1960).
