Shrub or small tree (usually 2-4m tall). Leaf Shape Large, oblique (lopsided) at the base, and broadly ovate. Broadly heart-shaped (broad-cordate) and rounded. Leaf Surface Nearly glabrous (smooth) or only slightly hairy (hoary) beneath. More or less tomentose (hairy) beneath. Stipules Leafy, curved like a sickle (falcate), and ear-like (auriculate). Linear (narrow and straight). Flowers Small, yellow, borne on thick axillary peduncles. Slightly larger, yellow, clustered in the leaf axils. Fruits (Drupes) Small (pea-sized), globose, typically 2-4 lobed, and edible when black. Larger, more pulpy, globose drupe that ripens red to purple-black; prized for juices. Primary Use Highly valued for its durable timber; used in tool handles, carriage work, and furniture. Grown mostly for its refreshing, sweet-and-sour fruits, which are used to make syrups and beverages.
