Corolla urceolate, thick and fleshy, twice as long as the 

 calyx, and more silky, yellowish-white. Stamens about 

 sixteen, in two ranks, arising from the base of the tube of 

 the corolla. Pistil: Germen ovate, tapering into a short, 

 thick style, with five erect stigmas : but the number appears 

 inconstant. Fruit a large, globose berry, of an olive but 

 yellowish-green colour when ripe, filled with a dark, soft, 

 and paste-iike pulp. The flavour of this is agreeable ; but 

 not so pleasant to the eye. Near the centre of this pulp are 

 four or five cells, each containing a large, rather irregular, 

 oval, compressed seed. Albumen between horny and fleshy. 

 Embryo inverted, the radicle turned towards the hilum.
