Variable in size and in leaf-form. In open sites the leaves are broad, short and usually obtuse, in shade they are longer and more acute. Shade forms closely resemble P. thunbergii but are distinguished by the thicker leaves without visible veins, by the smaller and less cut stipules, by the forked inflorescence, and by the larger fruit.
