^ 36132. "(Xo. 42.) Murta, murtilla. A shrub 4 to 8 feet high with 



rather ornamental foliage, but esteemed in Chile for its berries, which are 



tfrom one-fourth to one-half inch in diameter and ver\' palatable. They 

 are often gathered and sold on the market in various towns, and a dulce 

 is made from them that is considered excellent. Xo attempt has so far 

 been made to cultivate this shrub in Chile, but by careful selection no 

 doubt the size and quality of the fruit could be improved and something 

 of value developed. It is rather widely distributed, growing in the 

 region of dry summers as well as in Chiloe.
