diment of a style: the anthers are exserted rather longer 
than the filaments, and tipped with a mucro... Mr. Ber- 
tero's specimens are fortunately in fruit; this, as well as 
that of the next species, is a drupaceous berry nearly 
half an inch long, enclosing two pyrena of a chartaceo- 
coriaceous texture, each of which contains a solitary 
seed. "This is a shrub from 3 to 6 feet high.

—In the more elevated mountainous woods of Juan 
Fernandez, Bertero.— Of this Bertero remarks, * that 
it is perhaps only a variety of the former, but its trunk 
is four times as large, the leaves of the size of those 
of a pear-tree, undulated on their margin, and with a 
fruit perfectly turbinate." We certainly think it a very 
distinct species. Bertero did not meet with the flower ; 
but if its structure prove to be the same as the other 
species, the two merit being raised to the rank of a genus.
