To this we have already adverted at fol. 1568. It is 

 probably the species intended by Cavanilles, as it cer- 

 tainly is that which is considered so by Dr. Hooker in his 

 invaluable paper upon Chilian plants in the second volume 

 of the Botanical Miscellany. 



From Duvaua ovata it differs not only in its leaves being 

 almost always, especially upon the flowering branches, 

 obovate and very obtuse, or even emarginate, with scarcely 

 any denticulations, but also in its racemes scarcely exceed- 

 ing the leaves in length, and in its flowers being altogether 

 smaller, and usually decandrous. 



Its fruit consists of little dry blackish-purple berries, 

 which it produces abundantly upon a south wall. Its time 

 of flowering, and mode of cultivation, are the same as those 

 of D. ovata, fol. 1568, which see. J. L.
