pedicels, in compact mostly ■6-15-flowered corymbs, the elongated 

 lower peduncles from the axils of upper leaves ; calyx-tube narrowly 

 obconic, glabrous, the lobes long, slender, red and acuminate at the 

 apex, finely glandular serrate, glabrous on the outer, slightly villose 

 on the inner surface, reflexed after anthesis; stamens 5-8; anthers 

 dark rose color ; styles 2-4, usually 3. Fruit ripening from the

 depressions, 6-7 mm long, and about 4 mm wide. 



A shrub 2-3 m high, with stems covered with gray-brown bark, 

 ascending and spreading branches, and stout slightly zigzag glabrous 

 branchlets light orange-green and marked by pale lenticels when

 curved glandular teeth, and slightly divided usually only above the 

 middle into short broad acuminate spreading lobes ; nearly fully
