Flowers middle-sized. Petals somewhat im- 

 bricated. 



Fruit large, blunt, heart-shaped, with an un- 

 even surface like that of the Black Tartarian ; but it 

 is less pointed, and has a thicker, shorter stalk, 

 which is rather deeply inserted. Skin nearly black, 

 shining. Flesh firm, juicy, very deep purple, rich 

 and sweet. Stone small for the size of the fruit, 

 and nearly round.
