84 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. 
Sweet Spanisu.* Evidently only a form of Monstrous. 
Fruit 4-6 in. long, 2-3 in. diam., but slightly tapering 
toward the apex, usually with three or four furrows extend- 
ing from the base to the apex, giving a uniformly prismatic 
shape with rounded angles.— Plate 17. 
YeEuLow Spanisu.f Identical with the preceding except 
that the fruit is of a bright yellow color. 
== == Fruit squarish, subtruncate, slightly longer than broad, 
sometimes very oblate; apical end often much contorted. 
Betu.t Plant like the Monstrous. Fruit 2-3 in. long, 
14-23 in. diam., subtruncate, 3-4 prominent furrows ex- 
tending the entire length, often with one or more second- 
ary furrows between the prominent ones near the base 
which vanish toward the apex, often lobed about a central 
nipple and sometimes much contorted at the apex, 3-4 
celled; flesh 4-4 in. thick, slightly pungent. The fruit 
appears exceptionally subject to great variation, and very 
oblate forms often appear which are almost identical with 
the Squash pepper. Professor Bailey§ has recorded a 
variation toward the Cayenne type. The oblate form of 
Bell may usually be recognized by a slight projection at 
the apical end, while in the Squash variety this char- 
acter is usually wanting.— Plate 18, and plate 19, f. 1.
