narrow mostly 8-10-flowered sparingly villose corymbs, the lower

conic, covered at the base with long scattered white hairs, the lobes 
separated by wide sinuses, glabrous on the outer surface, slightly 
villose on the inner surface; stamens ten; anthers pink in the bud, 
fading white as the flowers open; styles three or four. Fruit ripening 
the end of September on slender pedicels, in few-fruited clusters, 
subglobose but often slightly longer than broad, crimson, lustrous,
