April; fr. in Oct. Ga. and Fla. S.S. 13:693.—The true C. flava is not in cult.; the plant now cult, as C. flava is quite different and is apparently not very closely related to this species; it has so far not been found growing wild in E. N. Amer., though it was apparently intro. from the southern states. As it has not yet been determined to which species it belongs, it may be enumerated here as var. lobata, Lindl. Shrub or small tree: Lvs. ovate or obovate, cuneate at the base, acute, crenately serrate and often slightly lobed, at maturity pubescent on the veins beneath, 1-2 in. long: corymbs pubescent, few-fld.: stamens 10: fr. pyriform, green or reddish with hard flesh, and 3-5 stones.
