This tree, which is also ver}' common in the Hawaiian Islands, 

 is said to have been introduced by Dr. Hillebrand. It bears but 

 one crop a year, will grow in any sosil, and withstands dry 

 weather. The foliage is smaller than that of the preceediug' 

 variety ; its leaves are narrower, and a lighter green in color. It 

 blooms at about the same time of year, but its flowers are not as 

 large, and appear in thick bunches. The purplish fruit ripens 

 from September until December .
