  When 
  in 
  flower 
  the 
  colored 
  anthers 
  easily 
  separate 
  this 
  species 
  

   from 
  the 
  preceding 
  one, 
  later 
  it 
  may 
  be 
  recognized 
  by 
  the 
  con- 
  

   vexity 
  of 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  leaves. 
  The 
  yonng 
  unfolding 
  leaves 
  are 
  

   sometimes 
  tinged 
  with 
  red. 
  On 
  vigorous 
  young 
  shoots 
  the 
  leaves 
  

   often 
  have 
  the 
  basal 
  pair 
  of 
  lobes 
  somewhat 
  enlarged 
  and 
  more 
  

   distinct 
  than 
  the 
  others.

   Shrub 
  8-12 
  feet 
  tall, 
  with 
  widely 
  spreading 
  or 
  ascending 
  

   branches 
  ; 
  leaves 
  similar 
  to 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  preceding 
  species 
  but 
  with- 
  

   out 
  the 
  convexity 
  seen 
  in 
  them 
  ; 
  flowers 
  similar 
  but 
  the 
  calyx 
  and 
  

   peduncles 
  more 
  densely 
  villose 
  or 
  tomentose, 
  the 
  calyx 
  lobes 
  more 
  

   narrow, 
  elongated 
  and 
  hairy 
  on 
  both 
  surfaces; 
  fruit 
  longer 
  and 
  

   more 
  narrowed 
  toward 
  the 
  base.

   Formerly 
  united 
  with 
  C. 
  pringlei 
  but 
  separated 
  from 
  it 
  

   because 
  of 
  its 
  more 
  shrubby 
  habit, 
  more 
  hairy 
  inflorescence 
  and 
  

   longer 
  fruit.
