1.5 cm in diameter, on slender glabrous pedicels, in 5-8-, usually 

 5-6-flowered compact corymbs, the lowest peduncle generally from 

 the axis of an upper leaf; calyx-tube narrowly obconic, glabrous, 

 the lobes small, acuminate, entire or slightly glandular, glabrous, 

 refiexed after anthesis; stamens 7-10; anthers purple; styles 3-5, 

 surrounded at the base by a narrow ring of pale hairs. Fruit ripen- 

 ing early in October, on stout reddish drooping or spreading pedi- 

 cels, in few- fruited clusters, short-oblong, full and rounded at the

 with a narrow deep cavity, and small spreading or closely appressed 

 persistent lobes, dark red on the upper side below the middle ; flesh 

 thin, yellow, dry and mealy; nutlets 3-5, narrowed and rounded at 

 the ends or acute at the apex, ridged on the back, with a broad 

 rounded or grooved ridge, light colored, 6-^ mm long, and about 

 4 mm wide. 



A shrub 3-4 m high, with stout stems covered with dark scaly 

 bark, ascending branches, and slender somewhat zigzag glabrous 

 branchlets dark olive-green tinged with red when they first appear,

Leaves broadly ovate, rounded or abruptly cuneate at the wide 

 base, sharply doubly serrate, with straight glandular teeth, and very 

 slightly divided into 4-6 pairs of small acuminate spreading lobes ; 

 nearly half grown when the flowers open about the 20th of May 

 and then thin, dark yellow-green and roughened above by short 

 white hairs and pale and glabrous below, and at maturity thin but 

 firm in texture, dull yellow-green, scabrate and lustrous on the upper 

 surface, glaucous on the lower surface, 6-8 cm long and 5-7 cm 

 wide, with slender midribs, and thin primary veins extending ob- 

 liquely to the points of the lobes; turning yellow in the autumn; 

 petioles slender, narrowly wing-margined at the apex, slightly 

 villose on the upper side while young, becoming glabrous, sparingly 

 glandular, with persistent glands, 3-5 cm in length ; leaves on vig- 

 orous shoots rounded or slightly cordate at the broad base, more 

 coarsely serrate and more deeply lobed, often 8-9 cm long and 

 broad. Flowers 2 cm in diameter, on stout glabrous pedicels, in 

 compact mostly 7- 10- flowered corymbs ; calyx-tube narrowly ob-
