I was surprised to find all of them barren, and went to a locality where I knew I had collected ripe fruit, and found these plants quite different from the early ones. Thev were larger and stouter, purple stemmed, with two leaves on a stalk as in he North Carolina one, the leaves pale green on both sides, as in the North Carolina one, and just opening its flowers, also as in the one from North Carolina.
