Glabrous. Leaves obovate and cuneate at the base to ovate and 
rounded at the base, sharply serrate and slightly divided above the 
middle into small acuminate lobes; nearly fully grown when the 
flowers open during the first week of June and then thin, yellow- 
green above and glaucescent below, and at maturity thin, dark blue- 
green and lustrous on the upper surface and paler on the lower 
surface, 4.5 to 5 cm long and 3 to 4 cm wide, with prominent mid- 
ribs and primary veins; turning orange and red in October; petioles 
slender, slightly wing-margined at the apex, 1.5-2.5 cm in length; 
leaves on vigorous shoots broadly ovate, rounded or cuneate at the 
base, more coarsely serrate and more deeply lobed, and often 6 to 
7 cm long and 5 to 6 cm wide. -Flowers 2.5 cm in diameter on 
slender pedicels, in small compact five- to ten-flowered corymbs, the 
lower peduncles from the axils of upper leaves; calyx-tube broadly 
obconic, the lobes separated by wide sinuses, slender, acuminate, 
nearly entire, occasionally glandular-serrate near the middle, reflexed 
after anthesis ; stamens twenty; anthers dark rose color, soon fading 
to light green; styles three to five, surrounded at the base by a 
narrow ring of pale tomentum. Fruit ripening early in October on 
slender drooping pedicels, short-oblong to slightly obovoid, dark 
crimson, slightly pruinose, marked by numerous small pale dots, 
about 1.5 cm long and 1.2 cm in diameter ; calyx little enlarged, with 
a deep narrow cavity pointed and densely tomentose in the bottom, 
and spreading usually incurved persistent lobes; flesh thin, dry and 
mealy; nutlets three to five, rounded at the base, narrowed and 
rounded at the apex, ridged on the back with a broad high ridge, 
9g to 10 mm long and 5 to 6 mm wide, the narrow hypostyle extend- 
ing nearly to the middle of the nutlet. 
An arborescent shrub 5 to 7 m high, with a short main stem some- 
times 3 cm in diameter, smooth pale gray branches, and slender 
nearly straight branchlets dark yellow-green when they first ap-
