Identification Key
1. Leaf blades (1.5-)2-4.5 times longer than wide, linear-elliptic, oblong-ovate, to ovate, the base generally acute to truncate

4
2. Leaves usually whorled, 3-5 per node, the blades 3-4.5 times longer than wide, linear-elliptic to elliptic-oblanceolate; fertile part of stem (inflorescence) 6-35 cm long
2. Leaves usually opposite, 2 per node, the blades (1.5-)2-3.3 times longer than wide, narrowly elliptic-lanceolate, oblong-ovate, to ovate; fertile part of stem (inflorescence) 2-5 cm long

3. Leaf blades 13-30 cm long, at least the larger ones, the underside usually purple; peduncles much shorter than the flowers; calyx lobes shorter to subequal to the calyx tube; corolla 8-10 cm long
3. Leaf blades (3-)5-16 cm long, the underside usually green; peduncles longer to subequal to the flowers; calyx lobes longer than the calyx tube; corolla 1-2 cm long
4. Leaf blade distinctly 3-5-lobed
4. Leaf blade unlobed
5
5. Leaf blade entire to obscurely dentate, the base acute to truncate
5. Leaf blade dentate (sometimes irregularly or sparsely dentate) to crenate-dentate (rarely entire), the base usually cordate on at least some leaves (sometimes obscurely cordate, truncate, to broadly obtuse-angled)
6
6. Inflorescence compact, umbelliform to hemispheric, the flowers densely congested, the pedicels nearly indiscernible
7
6. Inflorescence spreading to elongate, paniculiform, the flowers relatively spread or in spaced clusters, the pedicels generally discernible
8
