Descriptive elements

The identification is based on:
- the tip of the young shoot with a medium to high density of prostrate hairs and a piping distribution of anthocyanin coloration,
- the green yellow young leaves, with a medium density of prostrate hairs and a low density of erect hairs,
- the thin red shoots,
- the small adult leaves, entire or with five lobes, with an open V-shaped petiole sinus, moderately long teeth compared to their width at the base with straight sides or with one side convex and one side concave, ellongated star-shaped main veins (with the five corresponding teeth that are prominent and clearly longer than the others compared to their base), a weak to moderate anthocyanin coloration of veins, a shiny, involute, folded, slightly goffered and roughly blistered leaf blade, and on the lower side of the leaves, a low to very low density of erect and prostrate hairs,
- the round-shaped or obloid berries.
