A shrub to about 8 ft high; bark not peeling. Leaves from narrow- to broad-ovate, acuminate or acute, truncate to slightly cordate at the base, with up to ten rather coarse teeth on each side, softly downy beneath. Petioles very short (rarely more than {1/4} in. long), usually furnished with stipules. Cymes to about 3 in. wide. Fruits blue-black, ellipsoid; stone flattened, shallowly grooved.
Native of eastern N. America, sometimes cultivated for its scarlet autumn colouring. It has been confused with the downy form of V. dentatum (var. pubescens) but differs, among other characters, in the very shortly stalked leaves.
