plurimi, pedicellis 4 unc. longis, curvatis nutantibusve, alabastris 2 lin. longis. 
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.
