Shrubs
A semi-evergreen shrub to 3m high, with oval to oblong green leaves to 10cm long, sometimes coarsely toothed and sometimes 3-lobed at the tips. Produces small, rounded clusters of tiny white flowers with purple anthers in mid to late summer. These are followed by tight clusters of small oval-shaped red berries in autumn.
