>/'f v. Char., tic. Leaves coriaceous, glaucescent, with a saltish, bitterish 

 taste. Corolla white, having the throat veined with green. Stamens white. 

 Stigma green. Nuts the form of those of Coffca 

 arabua, convex on one side, marked by a slender 

 furrow in the middle, obtuse at top, and perforated 

 b] two roundish holes at the base: hence it is tri- 

 dentate, the first tooth from the middle of the back, 

 the other two from the sides : sometimes, but only 

 by abortion, 1-celled. Albumen copious, fleshy. 

 (Dons Mill., iv. p. 480.) A shrub, a native of the 

 south o\' Brazil, in woods, where it has been col- 

 lected by Sello ; but which was introduced from 

 Peru by Joseph Jussieu into France, whence it was 

 sent to this country in 1780. It grows to the height 

 of C ft., and flowers in April and May. There are 

 fine specimens of it in the Horticultural Society's 

 Garden, against a wall; and in the Epsom Nursery, as a bush in the open 

 garden ; from which it appears to be as hardy as Z/ycium europaeHim. The 

 \\ hole plant has a mealy white appearance ; by which, and by the singular 

 form of its leaves, it may be known at first sight from any species of 2/ycium. 

 Though it has been introduced into British gardens so many years since, 

 and was known in France in the time of Du Hamel, it is rarely met with 

 in collections ; and, though so easily propagated by suckers, it is not to be 

 found for sale in the nurseries.
