Strong erect glabrous shrub, with large lenticels and usually with purplish branchlets: lvs. variable, even on the same plant as it attains age (as in Fig. 3118); as commonly seen in cult, young plants, the lfts. are long-lanceolate or narrowly oblong- lanceolate,narrowed at base, and deeply pinnatifid, the narrow acute segms. being spinulose-serrate ; on older shoots or plants, the lfts. may be much larger and broader, still narrow at the base, and merely spinulose-dentate; as the plant matures it produces also very broad-ovate or broad-oblong thick nearly or quite entire lfts., with broad or truncate or even subcordate base, very unlike those already described.
