^4 BOTAXY OF THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. HERALD. 
+ 
The leaves of tliis species, like those of most quickly growing plants, are subject to considerable varia- 
tion both in shape and size. Sometimes their apex is quite obtuse, as in the form described by Bentham, 
sometimes it is long acuminated. OccasionaUy they attain as much as six inches in length, but very often 
not half that length. Their nerves areeither glabrous or more or less covered with hair. A good character 
of this species seems to be the leaves being cimeate at the base, the cymes divided into five bifid branches,' 
and the fruit being obovate (and black).
