Shrub, 6-15 ft., sometimes tree-like: branchlets glabrous: Lvs. oblong-lanceolate, acute at both ends, glabrous above, pubescent beneath, 3—1 in. long: racemes short-peduncled, 5-10-fld., glabrous; pedicels with 2 bractlets; fls. about ½in. across; petals about as long as calyx-tube, the triangular sepals half sis long: drupe ¼-⅓ in. long, bluish black, bloomy. April, May: fr. in July, Aug. Brit. Col. to Calif. G.C. II. 19:309; III. 19:489; 43:266, 267. Gn. 34, p. 78. L.I. 9.—Greene has described 5 more species of which O. demissa, Greene, seems the most distinct and is probably occasionally cult, in Calif. It is a low shrub, 2-4 ft. high, with rigid upright sts.: Lvs. smaller, mucronate, glabrous, prominently veined: racemes numerous, denser; sepals ciliolate: drupes more rounded, very bloomy.
