A shrub or small tree 1.5 to 5 m tall, it prefers to grow in forests or thickets in mountain ravines between 1300 and 2,600 m above sea level. Its leaves are eaten by the gray snub-nosed monkey Rhinopithecus brelichi.[3] Its inflorescences are umbels with two or three flowers. The sepals are leaf-like, and the petals are pink. There are 30 to 40 stamens. It blooms April through June and bears red fruits June through August.[4][5]
