The specimens gathered from the latter locality have large berries from 1 to nearly 
L5 cm. in length and not much less in breadth. Cogniaux describes the berry, the 
length of which he gives as only 0'8 em.) as “ nigricans,” but in the * Botanical Magazine ' 
{sub tab. 1971) it is said to be blue. My fruits were green below and purple above, and 
apparently not quite ripe: I did not try their edible qualities. [Amer. Trop., Ind. Occ.,
