Upright, slender- branched shrub, to 12 ft., glabrous: Lvs. oblong, to oblong-oblanceolate, obtuse or acute, gradually narrowed toward the base, entire, but the Lvs. of the stronger shoots often serrate above the middle and at the base with 1 or few small narrow lobes, 1½-2½ in. long: racemes 5-8-fld.; fls. 1½ in. across; petals narrowly obovate; stamens 25: caps. ¾ in. long, ovoid, pointed. April, May. Turkestan. G.W. 16, p. 451.
