branchlets are covered with a close brownish pubes- 
cence. The flowers are polygamous , on many speci- 
mens sterile, though furnished with the pistillum, and 
many of the flowering clusters are produced on the 
naked branches where they have been preceded by the 
former leaves. The berry is dark brown, covered with 
resinous glands or cists, about the size of a grain of 
black pepper, and when mature contains one or more 
(rarely 2) large seeds in 1 or 2 cells, with blended, in- 
separable cotyledones.
