subcordate, or even truncate at the base, 3-5-lobed, crenate-dentate, with sessile exudating 
glands on both surfaces, devoid of pubescence, the petioles glabrous and of about the same 
length as the blades; racemes commonly 4-7-flowered, nearly as long as the leaves, the 
rachis glabrous ; bracts light-green, about 5 mm. long, rhombic-lanceolate to rhombic-obo- 
vate, entire or nearly so, glandular but not pubescent; pedicels 2-5 mm. long, glandular 
but not pubescent ; ovary with short-stalked glands ; hypanthium cream-white, about 8 mm. 
long and 2.5 mm. in diameter, with stalked glands but no pubescence; sepals colored like 
the -hypanthium, about 2mm. in length, oblong, recurved ; petals white, reniform-orbicular, 
half the length of the sepals or less, equaled or slightly exceeded by the anthers; style 
usually glabrous ; berry red, globose, about 6-8 mm. in diameter.
