Stems glabrous or glabrescent. Leaves pale green abaxially, dark green and shiny adaxially, becoming scarlet; blade 2.5–7 × 2.5–3.5 cm, apex subacute to acuminate or apiculate, surfaces glabrous or glabrescent, adaxial midrib stipitate-glandular. Flowers sweet-scented; hypanthium glabrous; sepal margins glabrous; anthers yellow to purplish red. Pomes black, glabrous, taste acid and bitter. 2n = 34, 68. Much like no. 1 [Aronia arbutifolia (L.) Elliott], but the twigs, pedicels, and lower surfaces of the lvs generally glabrous or nearly so, varying to seldom somewhat more evidently hairy; lvs not turning bright red; fr black, ripening earlier and soon withering, but sometimes persistent; 2n=34. Similar habitats; Nf. and s. Lab. to n. Ga. and Ala., w. to e. Minn., ne. Io., and se. Mo., widely overlapping the range of no. 1, especially northward, but wanting from the coastal plain and adjacent piedmont. May–July, fr Aug.–Oct. (Pyrus m.) Stems glabrous or glabrescent.
