Bullace

the English name of a tree, the prunus communis, variety insititia. It is akin to the variety spinosa (the sloe), but differs in having the peduncles and under side of the leaves pubescent and the branches slightly spinous, whereas the spinosa has the peduncles glabrous, the leaves ultimately so also, and the branches decidedly spinous.

BULLÆ, miniature blisters, or blebs.

They are larger than vesicles, with a large portion of cuticle detached from the skin and a watery transparent fluid between. The skin beneath is red and inflamed.
