It is an evergreen tree that can grow up to 30 meters tall, bearing edible fruits that are either black or yellow in color. The tree is renowned for its beauty, with glossy, green leaves and attractive, white flowers. The history of this tree is rich and fascinating. Hooker's illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that characterized the botanical illustrations of the 19th century. The Botanical Magazine, where this illustration was first published, was a leading horticultural and botanical journal of the time, and Hooker was one of its most celebrated contributors.
