Dioecious shrub 0,5-3 m tall, many relaÂtively thin stems sprouting from ground level; bark yellowish green to greyish brown with dark spots, smooth, not peeling; young branch-lets glabrous, usually slender, not spine-tipped. Leaves trifoliolate, glabrous, green; petiole 2-18 mm long; leaflets obovate or broadly elliptic, subsessile, margin usually finely crenate-serrate, apex obtuse, seldom truncate or refuse, base cuneate, terminal leaflet (6-) 14 (-22)X(4-)10(-15) mm, lateral leaflets (4-) 9(-12)X(2-)6(-9) mm. Inflorescence: flowÂers solitary. Flowers unisexual, perigynous, subsessile. Calyx glandular, otherwise glaÂbrous. Disc 4-lobed, adnate to hypanthium. Stamens 8. Fruit ovoid, ± 11x8x8 mm, api-culate, glabrous; putamen smooth; pseudo-aril red, cupular with 4 (3) arms, 2 commissural arms reaching almost to apex of putamen, facial arms much shorter, arm on more convex face of putamen often completely undeveloped.
