purplish, and the 3 inner ones smaller, purplish on the outside as 
well as the inside at the base and apex, with the middle 
yellow. Berries large, yellow, ovate, oblong, eatable. All parts 
of the tree have a rank, if nota fetid smell; and therefore the 
fruit is relished by few, except negroes. Seeds 8-10, disposed 
in a double row.

the branchlets tomentose ; peduncles short, solitary; petals ob- 
long, nearly equal. k. S. Native of Mexico about Campeachy. 
Campeachy Asimina. Shrub? 
Cult. These shrubs will do well in England in the open air, 
in a warm situation, in a mixture of sand and peat. 4. triloba 
will grow in common garden soil. They should be increased by 
Jayers put down in the autumn, or by seeds procured from their 
native country. Seedlings should be trained up in pots, and 
sheltered in winter until they have acquired a sufficient size. 
The 4. Campechiana, which is a native of a warm climate, will 
require the heat of a stove. It will do well in the same sort of 
soil recommended for the hardy species, and ripened cuttings will 
root in sand under a hand-glass, plunged in a moderate heat.

mountain groves. A beautiful tree with whitish-yellow flowers.

Cult. A light loamy soil will probably suit these trees well, 
and ripened cuttings, not deprived of their leaves, will no doubt 
root in a pot of sand with a hand-glass placed over them, in heat ¢.
