Stems: 1-year old twigs deep tan to dark mahogany, ± shiny young, older gray to dark gray, often showing brown or alternatively tan-brown eastward; thorns on twigs straight or slightly recurved, deep brown young, (1.5–)2–3.5 cm. Leaves: petiole 0.7–1.5 cm, pubescent young, slightly glandular; blade usually elliptic to broadly elliptic or subrhombic (elliptic-obovate when lobes very small), 4–7 cm, lobes 2–4 per side, ?sinuses shallow, LII 10–20%?, lobe apex subobtuse to acute, margins coarsely, sharply serrate, ?teeth small, gland-tipped young?, venation craspedodromous, veins 4 or 5 per side, apex acute to obtuse, abaxial surface usually glabrous except on veins, adaxial densely short-appressed-pubescent. Inflorescences 10–25-flowered; branches glabrous; bracteole margins stipitate-or sessile-glandular. Flowers 10–15 mm diam.; hypanthium glabrous; sepals broadly triangular, 3–4 mm, margins sparsely glandular, ?adaxially glabrous?; stamens 10, anthers pink; styles 3 or 4. Pomes vinous and usually waxy glaucous young, dull black mature, usually ellipsoid, 6–8 mm diam., glabrous; sepal remnants reflexed, apex obtuse; pyrenes 3 or 4, sides excavated, sometimes only shallowly. 2n = 68.

Open woods, banks of mountain streams and on rocky banks. Brush, old fields, fencerows, woodland edges; at elevations from 50-1,600 metres.

The fruit can be eaten fresh. They are used for jams, sauces, drinks and jellies. They can be dried and stored for future use.
