The flowers are about 15 mm. wide in many-flowered woolly-hairy corymbs; calyx-tube and lanceolate long-pointed, glandular-toothed lobes woolly-hairy; sta- mens about 20; anthers small, yellow; styles 5. The fruit, which ripens in October, is short-oblong to globose, about 15 mm. thick, scarlet, slightly hairy, its calyx- lobes spredlding, prominent; flesh pale yellow, dry, mealy and acid; it contains 5 nutlets, 6 to 8 mm. long, grooved on the back, the nest about 8 to 9 mm. thick
