"There is a smaller kind, which has a less leaf, much longer, narrower, and more pointed in proportion, with a larger fruit, less highly coloured, but the natives do not eat it, considering it more dangerous than the former. [Coriaria kingiana - Ed.] There is also a very diminutive kind, with a flower not unlike that of mignionette, which it little exceeds in size; it is only found in the interior; its fruit is not eaten" [Coriaria plumosa - Ed.] (Taylor 1855)
