Char., S(c. Leaves oval-ovate and with a long acuminate tip, toothed, pubescent with hairs beneath. Flowers solitary, 2 or 3 together. , Lobes of the calyx very long, acuminate. Style 4-cleft. Stigmas about level with the stamens. {Dec. Prod.) A low straggling shrub. North America. Height 4 ft. to 5 ft., but covering double that space upon the ground with its long slender deep brown shoots. Introduced about 1830. Flowers white, most commonly solitary and alniost scentless. The leaves are smaller than is usual in the genus, very sharp-pointed, with the toothing unusually sharp ; the uppermost leaves become gradually narrow, till those immediately below the flowers are not unfrequently linear and entire. As this species leafs early, the young shoots are apt to be killed by frost, and when this takes place no flowers are produced that season, as it is from the ends of the lateral shoots that blossoms always appear in this genus.
