and somewhat broader at the base than at the apex ; 

 cavity of the footstalk middle-sized; the point which 

 marks the base of the style seldom projects, but is 

 generally in a shallow cleft, which runs across the 

 apex. Skin, where exposed, dark purplish red, 

 intermixed or mottled with pale brown dots ; next 

 the wall pale yellowish green. Flesh whitish, or 

 very pale yellowish green, edged with red at the 

 stone, from which it parts freely ; melting, juicy, 

 and rich. Stone middle-sized, roundish, obovate, 

 its fissures not so deep nor so sharp as those of the 

 Elruge, their ridges flattish, but rough, and of a red 

 colour, by which it may be always distinguished from 

 the fruit just named, the stone of which is pale, 

 with no rays of red passing from it into the flesh.
