Callicarpa pedunculata

C. pedunculata is a shrub or small tree growing from 3 to 4 m high.[1]

The twigs, the petioles and the underside of the leaf blade have a covering of stalked stellate hairs, while the upper surface of the leaf has a covering of stellate and simple hairs which become sparse when older. The Leaf blades are about 6-18 x 3-6 cm, and there are small, pale yellow, glands on the underside of the leaf. The bottom part of the leaf has smooth margins but the remainder is toothed.[2]

The inflorescences are 2 to 3 cm long, and sometimes inserted a little above leaf axil. The flowers have stalks which are 0.5 to 1 mm long, while the calyx 1 to 1.5 mm long, and the purple or mauve corolla is 2 to 3 mm long..[1]

It produces whitish to purple berries that are drupes.[1]

It is grown as an ornamental shrub. The fruit is astringent and too acidic to be eaten by people.

It was first described by Robert Brown in 1810.[3][4]
