Older plants have several cup-shaped scars, with numerous fibrous roots growing below. The stem is erect, unbranched, and slightly hairy. There is one basal leaf with a long petiole, and two stem leaves that are opposite, broadly ovate to reniform, 20-38 centimeters wide, deeply lobed towards the center, with shallow irregular margins and unequal small teeth, pointed at the tip, green on the upper surface, pale green on the lower surface, and hairy. It produces white flowers in summer, in compound umbels at the apex of the inflorescence, with small hairs on the inflorescence stalk. The point of attachment of the inflorescence is 5-8 centimeters below the leaf. The flowers have pedicels; the calyx has 6 early-falling sepals; the petals are 6, ovate or inverted ovate; there are 6 stamens, with thick filaments and elongated anthers; the ovary is superior.
