SAFFORD—CLASSIFICATION OF ANNONA, ; 61 
genus;’* but Aublet’s figure of Aberemoa guianensis (fig. 71), on which the 
genus was based, represents the carpels as pediceled and ovate, very much like 
those of certain species of Guatteria, 
while the leaf, as figured by Aublet, does 
not appear to be that of a true Duguetia. 
The type locality of Aberemoa guianensis 
(“ Habitat in sylvis remotis sinemarien- 
sibus”) is not indicated with precision. 
Flowers were lacking in the type ma- 
terial and there is no specimen identified 
with certainty as Aberemoa guianensis 
in any herbarium, nor has its flower ever 
been described. An imperfect specimen 
in the herbarium of the Museum of Paris 
of a plant collected by Perrotet and 
Poiteau was regarded as a variety gla- 
brescens of Aublet’s species by Sagot, who 
calls attention to the fact that Aublet’s 
type, with tomentose branchlets and 
slightly tomentose leaves, is absent from 
the herbaria of Paris, and characterizes 
it as “rara et pulcherrima planta nondum 
bene nota, insignis foliis maximis, fructu 
Fic. 69.—Flower of Duguetia furfuracea. 
Reproduced from St. Hilaire. 
carnoso, carpidiis incomplete coalitis; videtur Anonae affinis.’? It is thus 
doubtful if Aublet’s Aberemoa and St. Hilaire’s Duguetia are congeneric, and 
Fic. 70.—Flower of Duguetia furfuracea, with essential 
parts. 1, Open flower; 2, vertical section through the 
andrecium or gynecium; 3, stamen, dorsal view; 4, 
ripe seed. Reproduced from St. Hilaire. 
the latter generic name 
should, therefore, be re- 
tained. 
RAIMONDIA Safford.’ 
Raimondia was named in 
honor of the eminent geog- 
rapher and naturalist An- 
tonio Raimondi. Its type 
species is Raimondia mon- 
oica Safford* from the Cor- 
dillera Central of Colombia. 
The fruit in this genus is 
a solid fleshy syncarpium 
very much as in Annona, 
but the flowers are monece- 
cious and the stamens dif- 
fer radically from those of 
both Annona and Rollinia 
in being devoid of the char- 
acteristic terminal swollen heads above the pollen sacs at the tips of the con- 
nectives. To this genus must now be transferred the following species:
