It is partly deciduous at high elevations, but is evergreen in certain river valleys. It is a small spreading tree 15-30 ft. high: lvs. ovate, acuminate, usually double-crenate, sometimes somewhat lobed: fls. to 1 in. diam., white, in axillary fascicles or rarely solitary; petals obliquely obovate, retuse.
