A well-marked, widely spread species with rather firm leaves which are greenish 
on both sides and somewhat glossy above. The black fruits have white and very 
smooth, almost globular stones, sometimes even broader than high. On young 
plants and vigorous shoots the leaves are much more hairy on the veins and more or 
less roughish, and also the branchlets are densely pubescent. The leaves are some- 
times narrow-lanceolate or lyrate as described in C. sinensis Persoon, p. 277, the 
dentation being very coarse and obtuse. In Sargent's specimens from Korea the 
Stones are very indistinctly reticulate, and the branchlets are partly very gibbous 
on account of the numerous distinct lenticels. Henry's specimen from Mengtsze 
agrees well with the forms from central and northern China. So does the type of 
C. Mairei Léveillé of which I have received some fragments through the kindness 
of the author.
