Closely allied to the preceding species, but habit more open and spreading: lvs. with coarsely toothed or nearly entire lobes, pilose on the veins beneath or nearly glabrous, 2-5 in. long; petiole with shallow groove and small, usually stalked glands: cymes with shorter peduncles; stamens somewhat shorter. May, June: fr. in Aug., Sept. B.B. (ed. 2) 3:270 (as V. Opulus). New Bruns. to Brit. Col., south to N. J. and Ore.—Handsome native shrub, very decorative in fr., which begins to color by the end of July, remains on the branches and keeps its bright scarlet color until the following spring. The berries are not eaten by birds.
