Mas thought that this variety originated in America, but since it was first noted 

 in England it is probably an importation to the New World from that country. Downing 

 distinguished it from the common Damson by its extreme lateness. Tree medium in 

 size; fruit roundish, small; suture a line; purplish-black; bloom thick; flesh greenish- 

 yellow, juicy, acid, with a slight astringency; good for preserving; clingstone.
