hout, who tells me the trunk is 10-12 feet high, distinctly 
ringed and with short stout branches at the apex. 
The upper part of each origin of the funicle is a closed 
cellular bag occupying a niche immediately under the foveola 
or slit above mentioned ; on the apex of this are two roundish 
detachable brownish cells ? 
The funicles only occasionally adhere, they are 4 or 
as many as there are bags, they have a marked resemblance to 
those of the young embryo of Loranthius, they have no 
vessels, the large one contains longitudinal opaque air-bubbles. 
The flesh is divided by yellow tissue into two equal parts, the 
inner of them has the cells at right angles with the drupe, 
and they are longer.
