Leaf Description |
The evergreen leaves are divided into 3-5 ovate leaflets which are bronze coloured when young but later turn a bright green. |

The showy, 2.5 cm flowers are held above the foliage with numerous petals, bright yellow with long spurs with the inner sepals dark red. Some plants have insignificant sepals and thus the blooms appear to be completely yellow. |
