* I am not certain that the Black Cherry Tree, Hughes^ 1.09. 

 be distinct from liis Stopper-Berry Tree^ the fruit of which is 

 often called Black Cherries, from their resemblance to the Eu- 

 ropean fruit of ttie same name. If it be distinct, it is probably 

 the Cerasns occidentalis. De Cand. Of the fruit of this tree 

 Swartz observes, '' drnpa ovalis pnlposa monosperma, matura 



' *' Jamaicensibns Prune Tree." — FL 925. A comparison 



nigra. 



of the above description, with the representation in Catesby 

 (Car. 2. t. 94.) would, [ think, ind'cate that the trees respectively 

 described by these authors cannot be identical, although M. De 

 Candolle, under the head Cerasus occidentalis, refers, doubting-ly 

 however, to this plate of Catesby.- — ^My notes of the Stopper- 

 Berry Tree are, 1 am sorry to find, not quite so complete as I 

 could have wished.
