   Highest

  any 
  other 
  I 
  have 
  seen 
  (eight 
  in 
  a 
  good-sized 
  

   fruit) 
  . 
  The 
  fruit 
  from 
  which 
  these 
  seeds 
  were 
  taken 
  was 
  quite 
  distinct 
  in 
  form, 
  

   very 
  plump 
  and 
  thick, 
  short, 
  hardly 
  tapering, 
  not 
  compressed, 
  medium 
  sized, 
  

   brownish 
  black."

   out 
  the

  gray 
  tinge, 
  not 
  inferior 
  to 
  it, 
  but 
  more
