part is much like the Stalk, of a deep red, inclining to 
the colour of a Mulberry. Thefe two Colours gradu- 
ally decreafe and unite together on the fides in a natu- 
ral mixture. Each Branch has five Leaves, as repre- 
fented in the Figure. It is remarkable, that thefe Bran- 
ches feparate from each other at equal diftances, as 
well in refped of themfelves as of the Horizon, and 
make with their Leaves a circular Figure nearly parallel 
to the Surface of the Ground. 
Tho’ I have finifh’d the defign but of half of one of 
the Leaves at F. yet any one may eafily conceive "'and 
perfect the reft in the fame manner. I do not know 
that ever I faw Leaves fo large as thefe that were fo 
thin and fine: Their Fibres are very dihinguilbable $ 
and on the upper fide they have fome fmall whififh 
Hairs. The Skin between the Fibres rifes a little in the 
middle above the level of the Fibres. The colour of 
the Leaf is a dark green above, and a Alining tthitifii 
green underneath* All the Leaves are ferrated, or very 
finely indented on the Edges. 
From D. the Center of the Branches, there rifes a 
fecond Stalk D. E. which is very ftnight and fmooth, 
and whitifh from Bottom to Top, bearing a Bunch of 
round Fruit of a beautiful red Colour. This Bunch was 
corapofed of twenty four Berries, two of which I have 
here drawn, marked 9. 9. The red Skin that covers 
the Berry is very thin and fmooth : It contains within 
it a white foftifh Pulp As thefe Berries were double 
(for they are fometimes found fingl^) each of them had 
two rough Stones, feparated from one another, of the 
fize and figure of our common Lentils, excepting that 
the Stones have not a thin Edge like Lentils, but are 
almoft every where of an equal thicknefs. Each Berry: 
was fupported by a fmooth, even, and very fine Sprig, 
of the colour of thofs of our fmall red Cherries. All 
thefe Sprigs rofe from the fame Center, and fpreading
