Information

Forming large clumps, with longer branches pendent, glabrous; branchlets slightly compressed to angled, soon terete, moderately lenticellate. Leaves mostly alternate; petiole 3–15 mm. long; lamina slightly fleshy, dull green, ovate-elliptic, 5–10 cm. long, 2.5–7 cm. wide, obtuse to rounded at the apex, cuneate and attenuate at the base, with 4–5 pairs of lateral nerves, the second–third strongly ascending. Umbels sessile, with 2–3 flowers in sockets; bract cupular, 3–4 mm. long, slightly lacerate, ciliolate. Receptacle 2–3 mm. long; calyx tubular, 7–8 mm. long, slightly toothed, ciliate, circumscissile near the base, the freed upper part persistent around the corolla-tube. Corolla 4–5 cm. long, 3–4 mm. in diameter, red, yellow on lobes around vents, tip darker red, almost cylindrical in bud, only slightly swollen at the base; lobes 12 mm. long, linear-oblanceolate in the upper two-thirds. Filaments dark red, inflexed to shortly coiled, paler, hardened and thickened in the upper 1.5–2 mm.; tooth 0.7–1 mm. long; anthers 4 mm. long. Style slender, very slightly swollen opposite the filaments, with a neck 4 mm. long; stigma capitate, 0.8–1 mm. across. Young berries oblong-obovoid, warted.
