Five lobes, central lobe medium-sized with protrusions, lateral lobes medium-sized, pointed, directed sideways, angle between veins acute. Basal lobes weakly expressed, veins directed toward the petiole. Base of leaf straight. Depth of notch between central and basal lobes medium, notch narrow and sharp. Angle between base of blade and petiole right. Petiole thick, long, hairy along entire length, positioned on shoot at acute angle.
