    MORPHOLOGY:
     ROOTS
    Deciduous trees have extensions called root hairs which
    increase root surface area and increase nutrient and water uptake.

     LEAVES
    Leaves are simple, alternate, shortly petioled, broadly elliptic or
    orbicular obovate, 6 to 11 centimeters long; margins entire and
    pubescent; base rounded, rarely obtuse; apex rounded, sometimes
    mucronate.

     FLOWERS
    Male flowers are yellowish green, grouped into much branched
    spikes. Sepals usually 5, with 4 to 5, 2 to 2.5 millimeters long
    stamens with filaments free. Female flowers are many, grouped in
    branched racemes with very short pedicels.

     STEM/BARK
    Bark is light grey.

     FRUIT
    Fruit a drupe 4-6 x 3-5 mm, compressed-orbicular, glabrous,
    reddish-brown or black, alveolate.

     SEEDS
    In midsummer the strigs of green fruit ripen to edible berries, very
    dark purple in colour, almost black, with glossy skins and persistent
    calyxes at the apex, each containing many seeds.

    CULTIVATION:
    Grows in the wild on clay, sand, lateritic soil, black peat, limestone;
    sometimes on ultrabasic soil; over shale and granite bedrock.

    Dioecious. Both male and female forms need to be grown if fruit and seed
    are required.

    PROPAGATION:
    The plant can be propagated through its seed.
    PHYTOCHEMISTRY:
    - Preliminary phytochemical screening of leaves yielded phenols, tannins,
    glycosides, saponins, reducing sugar, flavones, xanthoproteins, and
    coumarins.
    - Leaves showed physical constants of total ash, 8%; moisture, 69%; dry
    weight, 31%; stomatal index 32, and vein islet number 80.

    MEDICINAL USES:
     The leaves are used as a poultice to treat headaches, scurf, abdominal
    swellings and fevers.
