Leaves ovate to obovate, acute or acuminate, gradually nar- 
rowed and concave-cuneate at the entire base, sharply doubly 
serrate above with straight glandular teeth, and slightly divided 
above the middle into small acuminate lobes; fully grown when 
the flowers open in the first week of June and then thin, yellow- 
green, covered above by soft hairs and slightly villose along the 
midribs and veins below, and at maturity thick, dark green, 
smooth and lustrous on the upper surface, pale and nearly 
glabrous on the lower surface, 5 to 7 cm long and 4 to 5 cm wide, 
with stout rose colored midribs, and slender primary veins ex- 
tending obliquely to the points of the lobes; petioles stout, wing- 
margined to the base, slightly villose on the upper side early in 
the season, soon becoming glabrous, 1 to 1.5 cm in length; sti- 
pules lanceolate, acuminate, slightly falcate, glandular-serrate, 
often persistent until the flowers open; leaves on vigorous shoots 
broadly ovate, often 9 to 10 cm long and 6 to 7 cm wide. Flowers 
1.5 to 1.7 cm in diameter, on long slender slightly villose pedicels, 
in wide lax mostly 16-18-flowered corymbs, the lower peduncles 
from the axils of upper leaves; calyx-tube narrowly obconic, the 
lobes broad, long-acuminate, laciniately glandular-serrate, glab- 
rous on the outer surface, villose on the inner surface, reflexed 
after anthesis; stamens ten; anthers pale pink; styles two or 
three. Fruit ripening the end of September on long pedicels, in 
wide drooping many-fruited clusters, subglobose to short-oblong, 
rounded at the ends, crimson, lustrous, marked by large pale 
dots, 9 to TI cm in diameter; calyx prominent, with a short tube, 
a wide shallow cavity pointed in the bottom, and reflexed closely 
appressed persistent lobes dark red on the upper side below the
