Sir, Polunin & Stainton does mention that leaves are variable. but the terminal lobe much larger as seen in the pictures. The book also mentions that it could be much branched prosrate or pendulous stems to 60 cm, sometimes 10 cm or less. since the leaves do not match the other two species of Cicerbita, I thought it matches with C. macrorhiza.
