 I am not sure if these two species of Turczaninow be specifically di- 

 stinct. Probably they are, but I have seen but few specimens. In M. 

 tephrocarpum the young berries are remarkably clothed with closely inter- 

 woven microscopic filaments of an ashy, glaucous grey colour (whence the 

 name). I think this is probably due to some fungoid growth. The young 

 ovaries being glabrous.]
