This vine is the real C. bullatus which Pursh 
thinks a doubtful species, therefore it will be well

leaves alternate petiolated oval acute scarcely 
toothed, smooth, nerved, shining above : flowers 
small greenish in terminal panicles, calyx with 
five open lobes, five petals (opposed to the calyx,

a stamina with straight oblong filaments and very 
small anthers ; ovary small dipt in a large glan¬ 
dular flat disk, style very short; berry red, next 
becoming black, fleshy with many seeds !

thereto. It rises about 12 feet, it bears branches 
from the base to the top: the flowers are white, 
the calyx is small, five-parted, persistent, five pe¬ 
tals longer than the calyx, five stamina subulated, 
with simple anthers, three sessile and reflexed 
stigmas ; berry red, three locular, with three om-
