Leaf-segments numerous, the ultimate segments deltate or subulate, more than 5 mm wide, glabrous beneath, with minute bristles along the main veins on the upper surface.

Most European plants of this species belong to var. intermedia (C. A. Meyer) B. Fedtsch., with villous follicles, and are regarded by some Russian authors as var. intermedia (C. A. Meyer) Krylov of P. hybrida Pallas. Var. anomala, with glabrous follicles, is restricted in Europe to parts of Ural.
