The plant of western China does not show any obvious differences from the 

 Japanese plant except that the leaves are generally larger and broader. The color 

 of the fruit of this species is greenish or yellowish, though it is given in all descrip-

 mowicz, that he was told by the natives that the fruit is bluish black and edible, 

 and by the fact that the dried fruit becomes a very dark color.
