Shrubs 1–2 m tall. Branchlets brownish to dark brown; sometimes blackish; pubescent; with intermixed glandular hairs and prickles; flower bearing branchlets lateral; 5–8 cm; pubescent; with intermixed glandular hairs. Leaves imparipinnate; 3-foliolate; petiole 2–3.5 cm; petiolule of lateral leaflet 0.5–1.5(–2) cm; lateral leaflets subsessile; pubescent; with intermixed glandular hairs; with sparse; minute prickles; stipules linear; 0.6–1 cm; pubescent; with glandular hairs; blade of leaflets broadly ovate to narrowly ovate; rarely suborbicular; 2–4 x 1.8–3 cm; terminal leaflet slightly longer than lateral leaflets; both surfaces appressed pubescent; more densely so and with glandular hairs along veins abaxially; base rounded; usually subtruncate on terminal leaflet; margin with sparse; glandular hairs and irregularly minute sharply serrate; sometimes 3-lobed on terminal leaflet; apex obtuse or acute. Inflorescences terminal on lateral branchlets; corymbose; 2–4 cm; 3- or 4-flowered or more; or flowers solitary in leaf axils; rachis and pedicels with soft hairs; intermixed glandular hairs; and sparse; minute prickles; bracts linear; 4–7 mm; pubescent; with stalked glands. Pedicel (1–)1.5–3 cm. Flowers 1–1.5 cm in diam. Calyx purplish red; abaxially densely pubescent; with stalked glands; unarmed or with needle-like prickles; tube pelviform; sepals erect; lanceolate; 0.8–1.4 cm x 2.5–5 mm; apex acuminate. Petals white; tinged purplish; or purplish red; broadly elliptic or oblong; 5–6 mm in diam.; slightly shorter than sepals; base shortly and broadly clawed; margin entire or sometimes erose. Stamens many; shorter than petals; filaments linear; basally broadened and flattened. Pistils somewhat shorter than stamens; ovary sparsely pubescent; glabrescent; styles glabrous. Aggregate fruit orange-red; subglobose; 8–11 mm in diam.; glabrous; pyrenes somewhat reniform; alveolate. Fl. May–Jun; fr. Jul–Aug.
High montane forests; coniferous forests; forest margins; open stony thickets; 2000--4000 m. Qinghai; Sichuan; E Xizang; Yunnan.
