Rhodotypos scandens,
a deciduous shrub of 1-2 m in height, grows in bundles; the
leaves are of opposite phyllotaxy, and each attaches to stems with
approximately 2.5mm-long petioles. The simple leaves are oval, 4-10
cm long and 2-5 cm wide, with pointed tips and double-serrated
margins. The veins sinking in are significantly prominent. Single
white flowers, 3- 4 cm in diameter, bloom on the ends of lateral
branches; petals, 4 in number, each circular - the lower part is as
if cut off. Each flower produces an achene with four glossy, black
seeds. Bloom time: April- May.
