white See also:flowers, resembling those of the See also:blackberry, but larger—one See also:inch across,—and with stamens and pistils on different See also:plants. The See also:orange-yellow See also:fruit is about See also:half an inch See also:long and consists of a few large drupes with a pleasant flavour. The plant occurs in the mountainous parts of See also:Great See also:Britain, and is widely distributed through the more northerly portions of both hemispheres. In See also:northern See also:Denmark and See also:Sweden the fruit is gathered in large quantities and sold in the markets.
See also:CLOUD-BURST, a sudden and violent See also:storm of See also:rain. • The name probably originated from the See also:idea that the clouds were solid masses full of See also:water that occasionally burst with disastrous results. A whirlwind passing over the See also:sea sometimes carries the water upwards in a whirling vortex; passing over the See also:land its See also:motion is checked and a See also:deluge of water falls. Occasionally on high lands far from the sea violent storms occur, with rain that seems to descend in sheets, sweeping away See also:bridges and culverts and tearing up roads and streets, being due to great and rapid condensation and vortical whirling of the resulting heavy clouds
