 colour, having only a little red on the side next the sun. Flesh, 

 remarkably firm and richly flavoured, deeply stained with red at the 

 stone, to which it is slightly adherent, but not so much so as to bring

 those of Pavie de Pompone. Leaves, with kidney-shaped glands, but 

 occasionally they are round, and in some the glands are quite absent.

 in being very deeply stained with red at the stone, and having the flesh rather 

 adherent.
