Species 1, CubGnsis. Genus valde diibiuni, Noc Acres ne6 semina perfecta vidimus, et Griso- 

 bachius ilores doscripsit in gemma tantum juvenilis Specimen nostrum fructus 2 immaturos prsebet. 

 Si rite ad Sapoiaceas refortur, genus est valde anonialum, tarn calycis indole quam ovario et semino. 

 In omnibus nempe Sapotaceis nobis notis, calyx fero ad basin partitas, ovarium 2-CO-loculare, et, 

 ubi albumen deest, cotyledones cra&so-camosce evadunt.
