Apparently distinct, though, like many of its congeners, difficult to be de- 

 fined. Dr. Scouler's specimens are only in bud ; the leaves are young and 

 turn black in drying. The foliage of Mr. Darwin's specimen is more coria- 

 ceous, and there are berries, which are globose and 3-seeded : the testa is 

 singularly thick and osseous.
