This is much larger than the last, and said by Smith to be essentially 

 distinguished from it, by the hairs on the peduncles being very pa- 

 tent and even deflexed. My specimens, however, from Brank.some, 

 and those gathered by Mr. Borrer in Sussex (as mentioned in K. B.) 

 have the hairs on the peduncles quite erect and oppressed. The 

 flowers are said to be dicrcious. This is not aUvavs the case ; my 

 specimens having some perfect stranens and producing fruit plenti- 

 fully. The fruit is deeper red, and has a peculiarly Mne flavour.
