About 12 species, all Asiatic, distributed from Japan and 
Korea to Transcaucasia and south to the Himalayas. 
They are chiefly characterized by the branches being 
terminated by two axillary buds, by the distinct ovaries, 
the large bracts and the want of bractlets. Upright, low 
or medium-sized shrubs mostly furnished with setose or 
hispid pubescence; winter buds with only one pair or with 
several pairs of outer scales, the terminal bud of the 
branches abortive and replaced by two axillary ones; leaves 
mostly of firm texture, often setosely ciliate and usually 
more or less pubescent; flowers white or yellowish-white, 
appearing shortly before or with the leaves near the base 
of the young branchlets; bracts, large, usually enveloping 
the ovaries; bractlets none, except in ZL. Elisae; corolla 
with almost regular or two-lipped limb, but the lower lip 
not abruptly reflexed as in the preceding group; stamens 
and style usually glabrous or the latter sometimes hairy 
near the base; ovaries always distinct, often glandular and 
setose; fruit scarlet, but in JZ. cyanocarpa described as 
blue. 
A. Corolla two-lipped, or subregular and with the limb exceeding the 
ube. 
B. Gosia two-lipped, limb as long as or shorter than tube (unknown 
in no. 45); winter buds pointed, with one pair of outer scales. 
C. Peduncles very short; bracts ovate; stamens shorter than 
the pilose corolla; leaves ovate or oval, acute, 8-20 mm. 
long, ciliate and sparingly appressed-pilose; dwarf shrub.
