erect or spreading, bearing toward the end 3-10 short-pedicelled flowers ; bracts obovate to 
oblanceolate, membranous, pubescent and glandular-ciliate, 5-8 mm. long, longer than the 
pedicels ; ovary glabrous; hypanthium rose-purple, short-cylindric, about 4 mm. long and 
3 mm. in diameter, puberulent ; sepals oblong-obovate, rose-purple, puberulent, about as long 
as the hypanthium; petals spatulate-orbicular, about 2 mm. long, white, short-clawed ; 
stamens about 1.5 mm. long, the anthers oblong, bluntly mucronate; berry globular,

less glandular; racemes erect, few-several-flowered, the puberulent and glandular peduncles 
as long as the petioles or longer; pedicels 6-8 mm. long; bracts oblong or oblong-spatulate, 
about as long as the pedicels; ovary densely glandular-bristly ; hypanthium puberulent, 
1.5 mm. long; sepals greenish-white, ovate-oblong, veiny, 3-4 mm. long, spreading; 
petals white, spatulate, much shorter than the sepals; stamens about half as long as the

Unarmed, the young shoots somewhat puberulent or glabrous. Leaves thin, green on 
both sides, but paler beneath than above, sparingly pubescent or glabrous, 3-5-lobed, orbic- 
ular in outline or somewhat broader than long, the lobes obtuse, irregularly crenate-den-
