. Psidium pomiferum, Linn. (the Guava).—Sierra Leone, Don ; 
Cape Coast, Vogel, who states it to be a shrub common in 
thickets ; although it is probably introduced. The peduncles 
in both specimens are one-flowered, but the fruit, at least in 
Don's specimen, is globose. 
The Psidium Guineense, Sw., cultivated in the West Indies, 
is said to have been introduced there from Guinea, but it does 
not appear that any African specimens have been found.
