Our specimen is from Capt. King’s collection, formerly in the 
possession of Mr. Lambert. The leaves are perhaps broader 
than will justify the expression of “ ovato-lanceolata,” as given 
to this species by Lamarck; but there is every reason to 
believe it is only a slight variety of his species. The fruit 
seems to be truly that of a Celastrus.
