Lin. syst. Pentándria, Monogynia. Flowers 5-6-parted, 
sessile upon the globose receptacle (f. 90. a.), which with the 
calyxes are combined into a globose fleshy mass. Limb of calyx

The heads of fruit are edible, 
and by the negroes of Sierra 
Leone called peach; they are 
brown when ripe. Cephalina 
scindens of Schum. is probably 
a distinct species, as the Sierra 
Leone plant does not climb at 
all. (f. 90.) 
Edible-fruited Sarcocephalus. 
Fl. July. Clt. 1822. Shrub 4 to 6 feet. 
Cult. A mixture of loam and peat is the best soil for this 
plant; and cuttings are easily rooted in the same kind of soil 
under a hand-glass, in heat. The shrub requires to be kept in 
a strong heat, or it will neither flower nor fruit.

academy at Monach ; author of some papers in the transactions

Embryo albuminous, centripetal.—A fine tree, having the ulti- 
mate branches compressed. Leaves elliptic-oblong, acuminated, 
undulated, glabrous. Stipulas twin, keeled, semi-concrete on 
both sides. Heads of flowers pedunculate, axillary, solitary.
