This widely dispersed species is very common in Hupeh and Szech'uan, more 
especially in rocky places. Usually it is a broad shrub from 1 to 5 m. high, but 
often it forms a small and bushy tree from 6 to 8 m. tall. As in other species 
of Morus the leaves are very variable in size and shape; the fruits when ripe are 
shining black and palatable. A colloquial name for this plant is oes (Chiff 
Mulberry). The leaves are not used for feeding silkworms. H. W.
