late oblong obtuse — found in Florida by Dr. 

 Baldwin and mistaken for F. ligustrina by Col- 

 lins altho' nearer F. porulosa. The warts are 

 remarkable similar to those of some Chionan- 

 thus, unequal oblong flat rimose, the leaves are 

 uncial quite glaucous on both sides, slightly re- 

 ticulate and with no pores beneath, but a few 

 scattered white small warts or dots, probably 

 an Aecidium or parasitical fungus ; the berries 

 are similar to Barberries as long as the pedun- 

 cles, and dark purple.
