SAFFORD—CLASSIFICATION OF ANNONA, 51 
fruit broadly ovoid or subglobose, 4.3 cm. long and 4.1 cm. broad in the (imma- 
ture) type specimen, its surface ferrugineous-tomentose or cinnamon-colored, 
the carpels terminating in low obtuse protuberances; seeds numerous (in type 
specimen), very closely crowded, obovate or oblong, compressed, about 11 mm. 
long and 6 mm. broad, with a thin tan-colored testa. (PLATES 29, 30. FIGURE 
59.) 
Type in the Gray Herbarium, collected at Los Almacigos, Province of Pinar 
del Rio, near the western extremity of the island of Cuba, July 26, 1862, by 
©. Wright (no. 1845); duplicates in the Géttingen Herbarium and the De 
Candolle Herbarium. 
DISTRIBUTION: Province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba. 
SPECIMENS EXAMINED: 
Cusa: Type specimen as cited and duplicate of type in Herb. De Candolle; 
near Herradura, Van Hermann in Herb. Fr. Leon, Habana, Cuba 
(tracings of leaves and fruit). 
Annona crassivenia is closely related to A. bullata A. Rich. but differs 
from it as set forth in the discussion under that species. The latter has the 
upper normal leaves ovate or ovate-oblong and often mucronulate as shown in 
figure 30, while the leaves of the present species are normally orbicular or nearly 
so, with thicker and denser 
reticulations between the 
secondary nerves, as shown 
in figure 31. The flowers of 
both species resemble those 
of the section Atta, but differ 
from them in having the ter- 
minal point of the stamen- 
connectives less broadly ex- 
panded, approaching more 
closely to the form of the 
connectives of the group 
Annonellae.

high; young branchlets,
