petiole 2–7 cm, puberulent, short stipitate-glandular;

blade broadly reniform or cordate-orbiculate to deltate-ovate, nearly equally to irregularly 5-lobed, cleft nearly 1/4 to midrib, 2–7 cm, base subtruncate to cordate, surfaces puberulent to whitish-tomentose abaxially, puberulent adaxially or puberulent and colorless, sessile-glandular on both surfaces, lobes deltate to obtuse, margins finely 2–3 times crenate and denticulate or serrate, apex broadly acute.

petiole 1–7 cm, (equaling or shorter than blade), crisply puberulent to villous, with slender processes along proximal margins;

blade pentangular, 3–5-lobed, cleft nearly 1/2 to midrib, (1.5–)2–7 cm, base broadly truncate to shallowly cordate, surfaces with amber, sessile glands, thickly villous at least abaxially or along abaxial veins, lobes broadly deltate, margins usually coarsely bicrenate-serrate, apex acute to bluntly acute.

pendent to stiffly spreading or ascending or erect, 5–40-flowered racemes, 5–15 cm, axis crisped-pubescent and stipitate-glandular, flowers evenly spaced.

spreading to pendent, 6–15-flowered racemes, 1.5–5 cm, axis pubescent, flowers evenly spaced.

bracts oblanceolate or lanceolate, 2–12 mm, with scattered, short hairs and stalked glands.

jointed, 0.1–2 mm, villous;

bracts narrowly lanceolate, to 10 mm, villous to sparsely hairy.

hypanthium white, pink, rose, or red, tubular to campanulate, 3–7 mm, pubescent, stipitate-glandular;

sepals not overlapping, spreading or reflexed, white, pink, or red, ovate-elliptic or oblong to oblanceolate or lanceolate, 4–5 mm;

petals not or nearly connivent to connivent, erect, white or pink to red, obovate-spatulate to oblong or almost square, not conspicuously revolute or inrolled, 1–3.5 mm;

nectary disc not prominent;

anthers cream, oblong-oval, 0.5–0.8 mm, apex shallowly notched;

ovary stipitate-glandular to strongly stipitate-glandular and crisped-puberulent;

styles connate nearly to stigmas, 4–6 mm, glabrous or with scattered, stipitate glands at base.

hypanthium green, broadly tubular-campanulate, 3–4.5 mm, glabrous or sparsely villosulous;

sepals not overlapping, usually reflexed, cream to greenish white, narrowly oblong-spatulate to nearly oblong, 4.5–5 mm;

petals connivent, erect, whitish, oblong to oblong-obovate, not conspicuously revolute or inrolled, 2.5–3 mm;

nectary disc not prominent;

stamens nearly as long as petals;

filaments expanded at base, 1 mm, glabrous;

anthers cream, oval, 1 mm, apex with small-holed callus;

ovary glabrous;

styles connate nearly to stigmas, 6–8 mm, glabrous.

palatable but insipid, blue-black, glaucous, ovoid or globose, 3–9(–10) mm, yellowish or greenish stipitate-glandular.

palatable when cooked, black, ovoid, 10 mm, glabrous, without resinous glands.
