Dr. N. L. Britton ("Studies of West Indian Plants, IV," Bulletin 

 of the Torrey Botanical Club, XXXIX, 1912, p. 2) notes that this 

 species attains a height of six meters and that the umbel is 7-20- 

 flowered. The Sante Fe specimen {No. 5J<5) was taken from a tree at 

 least thirty-five feet in height, while in our specimens the umbels are 

 often up to 30-flow^ered. The leaves sometimes are retuse at the 

 rounded apex. Further, the berries are not black, but are a very 

 dark blue and glaucous, although in the dried specimens they are 

 blackish.
