A large glabrous shrub or small tree, with rigid flexuous woody branches (the tips 

 often pubescent), and usually strong axillarj single spines. Leafiet 1-3 in., ovate- 

 oblong or elliptic, obtuse, notched or 2-lobed at the tip, coriaceous, bright green, quite 

 entire; petiole very short, often pubescent, stipalar scales subulate. Flowers i'V^- 

 diara., always fascicled in the leaf-axils, pubescent; pedicels |-4 in., minutely brac- 

 teolate ; buds subglobose or pyriform. Cahjx rupturing irregularly. Petals obovm- 

 oblong, obtuse. Filaments 8, rarely 5-7, connate into an irregularly cleft ^^^^',^^**^^ 

 is antheriferous at the top ; anthers broadly ovoid. Ovary sessile on a snialJ ai>K 

 S-S-celled. Berry as large as a nutmeg, globose, like a lime, usually 4-celled ; ceiia 

 1-seeded.— Roxburgh describes the flowers, as shortly racemose, and calyx as 4-5 -part e ^ 

 which does not agree with our specimens from the Peninsula, ~ - '' .. ,
