Apparently a very distinct species. The fruit when dried is very like that of U. 

 rvfa, Bluine, which is represented with slightly projecting seeds. This seems, how- 

 ever, in our species to be the result of drying, and we have no notes of the appear- 

 ance in a fresh state.

From their large size, and the consequent imperfection of the specimens, many of 

 the closely allied species of this genus are not readily distinguishable without ripe
