May Appeal 2026
Please help keep TSO growing!
IDS Trees and Shrubs Online has become a fundamental source of reliable information about cultivated woody plants, freely available to everyone, everywhere. We hope you find it useful.
For the first time we are asking our users if you could support us.
If everyone who uses TSO during May 2026 gives just £10, we would cover our costs for a whole year, enabling us to accelerate our work.

A straggling sub-evergreen shrub, with slender, four-angled stems viscous when young, and armed with short decurved spines. Leaves glossy green on both surfaces, simple, sometimes three-, or obscurely five-lobed, sometimes merely wavy; broadly ovate or triangular, 3 to 5 in. long, nearly as much wide at the heart-shaped base, toothed, slightly downy on the veins above, more so beneath; stalk 1 to 2 in. long; stipules 1⁄3 in. long, with usually five linear lobes. Flowers white, 1⁄3 in. across, produced in a terminal panicle 3 to 5 in. long, calyx segments downy, ovate-lanceolate. Fruits red, small.
Native of Central China; introduced by Wilson in 1907. It is a luxuriant, very leafy, scandent shrub, suitable for planting as a rough group in thin woodland.
