Similar to V. piasezkii, but with always simple leaves (sometimes slightly lobed), mostly ovate and up to 4 in. long, almost glabrous beneath when mature. Fruits blue-black, with a slight bloom. Native of Central and Western China. Although Wilson collected specimens during his expeditions for Messrs Veitch he apparently first sent seeds to the Arnold Arboretum, in 1907–8 and again in 1911. It received an Award of Merit when exhibited in 1917 by Mrs Berkeley of Spetchley Park, both for its fruits and for its autumn colour. Mrs Berkeley was the sister of the more renowned Miss Ellen Willmott, but was herself a talented gardener.
