which is completely identified with the latter by means

Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Horticul-

A middle-sized tree, with smooth branches, almost like 

 those of the common Apricot, but more slender. Leaves 

 stalked, oval, or ovate-acuminate, obtuse, somewhat rugose, 

 with glandular petioles. Flowers fascicled, on short stalks ; 

 calyj: and corolla often in 6 parts. Fruit about as large as 

 a common plum, dark purple, with a tawny, austere flesh.
