They are deciduous shrubs, small trees, or even climbers. They are named after Nicolas Fabre de Peiresc a French botanist of the 16th century. Several species will take some frost. Most species will burn out in the Arizona sun if they don't have afternoon shade in summer.
The flowers come in summer. They are sometimes large. They are followed by a berry-like fruit.
