Berrif oblong, when young tapering to an acute point. Kernel striate or 

 furrowed,, resembling a nut. Mich. 



Of this species I cannot speak with confidence. The shrub which the 

 Botanists who have visited the Southern States, have been accustomed to re- 

 rer to it, resembles it in habit, except that it wants the spinous processes 

 which are represented in Michaux's figure. But the calyx is 4-parted, the 

 stamens 4, inserted in the calyx, and some of the flowers appear polyga- 

 mous. It probably belongs to a distinct genusj but, as I have not seen the 

 "vmg plant, I cannot decide. 



Grows along the margins of rivers In Carolina and Georgia. Mich
