  • Description

    Species Description - From Japan and China, is casually intr. in N.Y., Conn., and Mass., and may be expected elsewhere. Much like S. decumbens in aspect, it differs in its slightly succulent lvs, glandular-hairy (at least distally) pedicels, shorter, more globose fr, and dark brown, evidently muricate, plump seeds without a dorsal groove.
