leaves lanceolate, nerveless, acuminated, clothed with rusty 
silky down beneath. h.S. Native of South America, on the

Bluntish-leaved Star Apple. Tree. 
* * Leaves glabrous on both surfaces. 
14 C. Micnino (H. B. et Kunth. nov. gen. amer. 3. p. 236.) 
leaves obovate, bluntish, acute at the base, quite glabrous, and 
of the same colour on both surfaces. k. S. Native of the pro- 
vince of Bracamoras, near Cavico and Matara, where it is called 
Michino by the natives. Branches terete, glabrous, fuscescent.

Michino Star Apple. Tree 40 to 50 feet. 
15 C.? nucósuw (Swartz. prod. p. 49. fl. ind. occ. 1. p. 484). 
leaves oblong, acuminated, glabrous on both surfaces; fruit 
nearly globose, wrinkled, acuminated. h. S. Native of the 
west of Jamaica, on the mountains. Leaves large, obtuse, un- 
dulated, paler beneath. Calyx and pedicels rusty. Corolla 
with a very short tube: and ovate, obtuse segments, furnished 
with 5 small secondary ones, between the others. Fruit size of 
anut, yellowish brown ; containing many oblong, compressed 
seeds. This is certainly not a species of Chrysophillum, from 
the corollas being furnished with scales inside, as in Bumelia, 
of which probably it is a species. It differs from other species 
of this genus, in the leaves, flowers, and fruit. 
Wrinkled-fruited Star Apple. Tree.

green. Fruit by twos or fours, the whole length of the branches ; 
having a fleshy, yellowish, thick rind, covering a nut, which is 
much excavated on one side, edible. Perhaps this, with Bumé- 
lia nervosa, and C.rugósum, will form the genus named Vitella- 
ria by Geertn. ;
