Colebrook states that its leaves are from 3 to 6 inches long, 
and about the same breadth, %vith a petiole of nearly equal 
length. In Wallich's specimen they are 4 inches long, 3^ inches 
broad, sinuated near the summit ; the apex is obtusely narrowed 
and deeply emarginated, the petiole being 3 inches long. In 
Roxburgh’s specimen, the sinuated margins are almost obsolete, 
while the summit has a deep emargination, with a mucronate 
point : it is 4 inches long, 3^ inches broad, the petiole, thickened 
at its base, being 2j inches long. The drupes are said to be 
orange-red, the size of a large pea, enclosing a tuberculated 
putamen.

This is described as a climber, with distant leaves, 3-4 inches 
long, and of equal breadth. Lamarck considered this species 
to be distinguished from the preceding ones by its much shorter 
racemes and its much smaller drupes of a blackish hue, scarcely 
as large as a peppercorn ; its putamen is somewhat compressed 
and tuberculated.
