This widely dispersed species is very common in Hupeh and Szech'uan, more 

 especially in rocky places. Usually it is a broad shrub from 1 to 5 m. high, but 

 often it forms a small and bushy tree from 6 to 8 m. tall. As in other species 

 of Morus the leaves are very variable in size and shape; the fruits when ripe are 

 shining black and palatable. A colloquial name for this plant is Ai-Sang (Cliff 

 Mulberry). The leaves are not used for feeding silkworms. E. H. W.
