ANONA CORIACEA, Mart. Fl. Bras. xiii. I. p. 6, ex icon. et descript. 
, Var. AMPLEXICAULIS (S. Moore). A typo distat imprimis foliis minoribus insigniter 
amplexicaulibus. Forsan pro specie propriá existimanda. 
` Hab. Floret ad Santa Cruz mens. Nov. Arrichicúm incolarum. (N. 517.) 
Petala admodum incrassata, intus luteola. 
Rhizomatis fimbrize ad vulnera a morsubus serpentum facta applicantur. 
In habit our plant, which is frequent at Santa Cruz, is apparently different from 
typical 4. coriacea, which Martius describes as having tortuous branches, inasmuch as it 
is a lanky erect shrub, 4-6 feet high, and very sparingly branched, if at all. 
The popular name “ Arrichicúm " is obviously merely a local variation of the Araticü 
of East Brazil, a term applied to several species of Anona there native. |Bras. Or. |

Eandem plantam legerunt beat. Gardner ad Santa Rosa in provincia Pernambuco 
(n. 2774 in hbb. Brit. Mus. et Kew) et beat. Burchell (n. 6390 in Hb. Kew). Crescit
