Description
Subspecies Description - Leafy twigs appressed-puberulous to strigose. Lamina entire to 3-lobed, sometimes 3-fid, occasionally (in subjuvenile material?) 5-parted; upper surface scabrous, sometimes smooth, lower surface smooth, sometimes scabridulous, the arachnoid hairs in the areoles and on the smaller veins or confined to the areoles, but then the smaller veins relatively thick and the spots of arachnoid hairs clearly separated; stipules inside glabrous, caducous. Pistillate inflorescences mostly with 3-25 flowers.

Discussion
In and towards the eastern part of the species range (from Colombia to Bolivia) the arachnoid hairs on the lower leaf surface are confined to the areoles in combination with an increase of the thickness of the smaller veins, causing distinct separation of the "islets" of arachnoid indument. The transition of the normal form of subsp, bicolor, with the arachnoid indument extending over the relatively thin smaller veins to the form de scribed above, is rather gradual. Both forms may occur in the same region. In the eastern part of the species range the upper leaf surface is often smooth. See unnamed collection #1 (p. 193).
