(June) : lvs. ovate to oblong-ovate or somewhat obovate, rounded at base, short-acuminate at apex. 1-3 in. long, glandular-serrate, glabrous above, more or less pubescent beneath; petioles with 1 or 2 glands near apex, or gland- less: fls. white, with the lvs. or before them, less than 1/2in. broad, on slender glabrous pedicels; calyx-lobes as long as tube, ovate or oblong-ovate, usually pointed, glandular,little pubescent on exterior, with age reflexed; petals obovate-orbicular or oblong-obovate, short-clawed: fr. nearly globose, 1/2in. or somewhat more diam., red and with light bloom; pit or stone oval to subglobose, the surface smooth or obscurely roughened.
