A tall, deciduous shrub, shoots soon glabrous. Leaves elliptic-lanceolate, tapered to both ends, 2 to 4 in. long, 1⁄4 to 11⁄8 in. wide, glabrous above, at first covered beneath with grey-white hairs. Flowers small, 1⁄4 in. across, white, borne in axillary and terminal, downy cymes on short, leafy side-shoots. Fruits obovoid, 2⁄5 in. long, dark purple.
