Berry oblong, when young tapering to an acute point. Kernel striate or 
furrowed, resembling a nut. Mich. 
Of this species I cannot speak with confidence. The shrub which the 
Botanists who have visited the Southern States, have been accustomed to re- 
fer to it, resembles it in habit, except that it wants the spinous processes 
which are represented in Michaux’s figure. But the calyx is 4-parted, the 
stamens 4, inserted in the calyx, and some of the flowers appear polyga- 
mous. It probably belongs to a distinct genus; but, as I have not seen the 
living plant, I cannot decide. 
Grows along the margins of rivers in Carolina and Georgia. Mich
