near the apex and along the margin, which is often recurved ; -4 to - 7 in. 
long, -3 to '6 in. broad; midrib prominent; main-nerves 6 pairs, arched 
upwards and joining in an intramarginal nerve ; secondary nerves similar, 
reticulations prominent; petiole - 1 in. long, villous. Flowers tetramerous, 
very small, in umbels or very short racemes on short axillary arrested 
branches, - 1 to ‘15 in. long, shorter than the leaves ; bracts minute, sub- 
ulate. Calyx-lobes ovate, glandular ciliate, densely papillose within, '05 in. 
long, tube very short. Corolla-lobes free, oblong, rounded at apex, -1 in. 
long, glandular-ciliate on the edges, conspicuously marked with black, 
oblong or linear glands. Stamens longer than the corolla-lobes in 3 
flowers, shorter in 2 ; anthers oblong, often cordate, with conspicuous 
warts at the insertion of the dorsifixed filaments which spring from 
the base of the petals. Ovary ovoid ; style slender ; stigma capitate, 
4-cleft. Berry globose, red or black, - 15 to - 2 in. in. diam., promi-
