A tree, aoe f. high. It differs from the preceding in the shorter-petioled leaves, 
not cuneate at base, thicker, more evidently serrulate (the larger 1}—2 inches long), 
in the peduncles 3-5 lines long, often pra § bifid at the summit, in the flowers not 
glomerated, on pedicels 2 lines long, and in the globose fruit. The flowers them- 
selves are like those of the preceding, but the petals a little narrower at base, and 
the stamens twice as long. Drupe as large as a pea ; seed similar in shape.

pity ae the pedicels 2 lines long. Fi. of the last. Drape oval or obovate ;

The terete branches and horizontal twigs grey with short pubescence. Larger 
leaves uncial, 8-12 lines wide, mostly smaller, 6-9 lines long, 5-8 wide, acutely 
emarginate, the marginal teeth scarcely discernible by the naked eye. Petiole 4-1
