 other Iflands ; but it feldom rifes above 14 or 16 feet, and fpreads pretty much at 

 the top. The leaves are oval, rugged, obliquely veined, and difpofed alternately ; 

 the berries are red, fucculent, of the fize of out fmalleft European cherries, and dif- 

 pofed in umbellated groups. The turkeys and other poultry feed much upon the 

 fruit of this tree -, the pulp is fweetifh, and of a clammy confidence.
