sf 
gular, drupaceous nzzs, collected into a nearly globose but de- 
pressed compound fruit, somewhat of the structure of a pine- 
apple, or a bread-fruit. These nuts are imperfect, but they 
exhibit the traces of five (the number seems variable) elongated 
cells ; each with one erect ovule or seed. These drupes, taken 
individually, are richly coloured; yellow below, dark green 
above, with a tinge of red where the free portion unites with 
that which is in contact with the adjacent drupes; the apex is 
crowned with four to six brown sessile stigmas. The fruit here 
figured is preserved in the Museum of the Royal Gardens of 
Kew. 
The Plate represents a fruit-bearing specimen, nat. size. Fig. 1. Single 
drupe. 2. Vertical section. 3. Transverse section :—also of the nat. size.
