African and American trees and shrubs, with edible fruits, commonly called 
“‘ Custard-apples.” Leaves alternate, entire, penninerved, sometimes pellucid- 
dotted. Peduncles axillary or opposite the leaves, solitary or tufted, one or few- 
flowered, bracteolate. Flowers greenish or yellowish. Anona is the native name 
of these plants among the aborigines of St. Domingo.

who sends it from the Niger river, says, “10 feet high ; flowers fleshy, cream- 
coloured, fragrant ; fruit size of an apple, deep orange, when ripe of an apricot 
flavour, the best of indigenous fruit.” As yet I have only seen a single leaf and 
seeds of the Natal plant ; these quite agree with Dr. Barter’s, and also with speci- 
mens from Dr. ‘Kirk collected in 8. E. tropical Africa, near Moramballa. It appears 
to be generally distributed throughout tropical Africa, north and south. ,
