appearance. Young stems angled, fragile, green or green with purple spots and dark brown ridges, glabrescent to densely pubescent with a soft whitish pubescence of long, spreading, simple, uniseriate, 4-11-celled, eglandular trichomes (some forked) 0.5-1.5 mm long; nodes frequently dark purple; bark of older stems dark brown, smooth or striate, glabrescent to densely pubescent; lenticels absent. Sympodial units difoliate, the leaves geminate; leaf pair markedly unequal in size, similar or dissimilar in shape. Leaves membranous, concolorous or discolorous, green above, light green beneath, rugose (the youngest leaves) or somewhat smooth with the mid-vein and primary veins raised abaxially, glabrescent to densely pubescent on both surfaces and margins, with similar trichomes like those on stems; blades of major leaves 6-12 (-16) cm long, 2.4-4 (-7) cm wide, ovate or more rarely elliptic, the major veins 4-6 on each side of mid-vein, the base asymmetric and attenuate or cuneate, the margins entire, the apex acuminate; petioles 1.5-2 cm long, densely pubescent to glabrescent; blades of minor leaves (2.5-) 3.5-5 (-6) cm long, 1.8-2.4 cm wide, ovate, the major veins 3-4 on each side of mid-vein, the base rounded, the margins entire, the apex acute or acuminate; petioles 0.5-0.7 cm long, densely pubescent to glabrescent. Inflorescences axillary, 1-2 flowers per axil, rarely up to four flowers; flowering pedicels 15-25 mm long, angled, erect, geniculate at anthesis, green or purple-ribbed, moderately to densely pubescent, the eglandular trichomes long, spreading; pedicels scars conspicuous. Buds globose or ovoid, dark purple. Flowers 4-8-merous. Calyx 2-3 mm long, ca. 4-4.3 mm wide, cup-shaped, thick, green, moderately to densely pubescent with the same trichomes as pedicels, sometimes sparse forked trichomes, the calyx appendages 4-8, (0.3-) 0.5-1.5 (-1.7) mm long, subequal or somewhat unequal, thin, erect, cylindrical, green, inserted close to the margin, pubescent with the same trichomes as calyx tube. Corolla 10-15 mm long, 15-22 (-25) mm in diameter, thick, dark purple or violet with a white centre outside and within (sometimes with a weak yellowish-green centre within), rotate to stellate, with thin interpetalar membrane, lobed 1/3 or a little more of the way to the base, pubescent adaxially with short glandular trichomes (stalk 1-2-celled; head globose, unicellular) in the throat and base of the lobes, the tube 5-8 mm long, glabrous abaxially, the lobes 3.5-6.5 (-7.2) mm long, 4.7-7.4 (-8.5) mm wide, broadly triangular, spreading, with eglandular trichomes abaxially especially on the veins, the margins pubescent with very short purple eglandular trichomes, the tips acute or obtuse, cucullate or not, sometimes papillate. Stamens 4-8, equal; filaments 2-3.3 (-4.25) mm long, purple or lilac, inserted on the corolla 1.4-1.6 mm from the base, with auricles fused to the corolla at the point of insertion; anthers 2-2.8 mm long, ellipsoid or ovoid, purple with a wide cream connective, not connivent at anthesis. Gynoecium with ovary 2-3-carpelar, 2-2.5 mm long, ca. 2.5 mm in diameter, light green, ovoid or pear-shaped; ovules more than two per locule; nectary ca. 1.2 mm tall; styles heteromorphic, short, 3-3.5 mm, not exceeding the anthers, medium near the same length as the anthers or long 4.5-5.2 mm, exserted 1-1.5 mm beyond the anthers, lilac or purple, clavate; stigma 0.3 mm long, 0.7 mm wide, discoid or slightly globose, light green. Berry 20-40 mm long, 17-25 mm in diameter (semi-domesticated plants) or larger up to 50 mm long, 55 mm in diameter (cultivated plants), round, blocky or elongate-curved or not, the base obtuse, truncate or lobate, sometimes narrowed forming a neck-like, the apex blunt or sunken, rarely pointed, green when immature, brightly coloured at maturity (from red to light yellow or blackish), persistent, very pungent, the pericarp thick, opaque, with giant cells (endocarp alveolate); stone cells absent; fruiting pedicels 35-50 (-55) mm long, pendent, stout, curved or not, strongly angled, widened distally, usually green; fruiting calyx 8-13 mm in diameter, persistent, slightly accrescent, discoid, green, the appendages 0.8-2.1 mm long, ca. 0.3-0.4 mm wide, spreading. Seeds 15-45 per fruit, 5.5-7 mm long, 4.8-6 mm wide, C-shaped, subglobose or irregular, brownish-black to black, the seed coat reticulate (SM), reticulate-cerebelloid (SEM), the cells polygonal or irregular in shape, the lateral walls wavy to sinuate in the seed body, straight at margins; embryo imbricate.
