Near Myrsine africana LINN. ; but differs from it by the not exserted 

 anthers and smaller leaves with aristate serrature. I have examined several 

 sets of the flowers and fruits, but I have never been able to find either 

 ovule or seed. The plant may be of polygamous character, and the speci- 

 mens may be male ones.
