This species, which occurs only in central Japan, varies somewhat in its habit and 

 in the size of the leaves and their serration, but it can always be easily distinguished 

 from the preceding species by its lower habit, rarely exceeding 0.5 m. in height, by 

 the young branchlets being scabrous the first year, becoming verruculose the sec- 

 ond, by the smaller obovate, obtuse and more or less crenately serrate leaves, by 

 the smaller brick- or salmon-red flowers with the styles always glabrous and by the 

 small and usually globose fruit.

This is a very distinct species and even without flowers it is easily distinguished 

 from C. lagenaria Koidzumi by the stipitate-glandular stipules and petioles and by 

 the broader ciUately serrulate leaves.
