Guatemala, at the height of 10,000 feet above the sea. The 

 berry in the wild state is from one to one inch and a half long, 

 and pleasant to the taste. The Guatemalese call it Meloco- 

 toncito, and apparently eat it. The bush itself is said to be 

 five or six feet high. 



It requires just the same treatment as others of the genus. 

 We should expect some fine mules between this and F. gracilis 

 or globosa ; for they would give it richness of colour and 

 many flowers, while it would give them a breadth of foliage 

 they much want.
