middle into 5 or 6 pairs of short acute or acuminate lobes, 
coarsely doubly serrate with spreading gland-tipped teeth except at 
the broadly cuneate or occasionally rounded base; as they unfold 
conspicuously plicate, scabrate above with short appressed white 
hairs, villose below particularly on the slender midribs and thin 
primary veins arching to the points of the lobes and only slightly 
impressed above, and at maturity membranaceous, yellow-green and 
glabrous on the upper surface, paler and villose below, 24 to 3 in. 
long, 2 to 3 in. wide; petioles stout, slightly grooved and glandular 
on the upper side with scattered dark glands, ł to 1 in. long; stipules 
linear-lanceolate, or on vigorous shoots falcate and very oblique at 
the base, conspicuously glandular-serrate, often 4 in. in length. 
Flowers 4 in. in diameter on elongated slender pedicels, in broad 
loose compound 1o~—12-flowered thin-branched villose cymes; bracts 
and bractlets lanceolate to oblanceolate, finely glandular-serrate ; 
calyx-tube narrowly obconic, densely villose with long matted pale 
hairs, the lobes lanceolate, acuminate, coarsely glandular-serrate, 
pubescent on the lower surface; stamens usually ro, occasionally 7. 
or 8; filaments slender; anthers large, rose-color or red ; styles 4 or 
5, surrounded at the base by a thin ring of pale tomentum. Fruit 
pendant in loose slightly villose clusters, obovate to oblong, gradually 
narrowed to the rounded base, crimson, lustrous, marked by large 
pale scattered lenticels, slightly villose toward the full and rounded 
apex, from g to ł in. long, J in. thick; calyx large and prominent, 
with a broad and shallow cavity, the lobes elongated, lanceolate, 
abruptly narrowed from broad bases, dark red on the upper side, 
tomentose, finely glandular-serrate, spreading and closely appressed, 
often deciduous before the ripening of the fruit; flesh light yellow, 
thin, rather juicy; nutlets 4 or s, thin, prominently and irregularly 
ridged on the back, 4 to 45; in. in length. 
A bushy intricately branched tree from r5 to 18 feet in height 
with a short trunk 6 in. in diameter and slender slightly zigzag 
branchlets marked by numerous oblong pale lenticels, dark green 
and villose when they first appear, bright red or orange-brown and 
lustrous during their second season, orange-brown during their third 
year, and armed with slender straight or slightly curved spines 
rarely more than 14 in. in length.
