above ; petiole '4 in. long. Flowers in axillary or extra-axillary, leafy, 
tri-pinnate, minutely pubescent, paniculate cymes, 3 to 6 in. long, 
branches trichotomous, ultimate cymes umbellate ; bracts leafy, oblong

long, bracteoles none. Calyx -05 in. long, minutely rusty-pubescent ; 
tube short ; lobes 4, ovate-acute, as long as tube. Corolla campanulate,

base of the corolla-tube ; filaments slender ; anthers as long as filaments, 
reniform, cells sub-extrorsely dehiscing. Ovary conical ; style none ; 
stigma capitate ; cells 2, ovules in each cell pendulous. Drupe 
globose, '2 in. in diam., black when ripe, wrinkled when dry ; 
exocarp thin, fleshy, endocarp crustaceous. Seed 1, testa very thin,
