very large, made up of the individual berries derived from the separate 

 cpls., sunk in, and united with, the fleshy recept. That of some cult, 

 sp. is ed., e.g. of A. Cherimolia Mill, (cherimoyer; trop. Am.), A. 

 sqtianiosa L. (sweet sop, custard or sugar apple; E. Ind.), A. muricata 

 L. (sour sop; trop. Am.) and A. reticnlata L. (custard-apple or 

 bullock's heart; trop. Am.). 



A. (Geantheinuni) rhizantha Eichl. (Braz.) has rhizomes below 

 the soil, bearing scale leaves only. The fls. are borne on branches 

 of these above the ground. 



Anonaceae (EP. ; BH. incl. Eupomatiaceae). Dicots. (Archichl. Ra- 

 nales). 46 gen. 820 sp. chiefly trop. (esp. Old World). Trees and

 sometimes sympodial, at least in infl. Oil passages present. 



Fls. reg. ? (rarely unisex.), solitary or in infl. of various types. 

 Usu. formula P 3 + 3 + 3 (one or two outer whorls sepaloid); A oo 

 (rarely few), spiral, hypog. ; G oo (Monodora is syncp.). Ovules usu. 

 ao , ventral or basal, anatr. Fr. commonly an aggregate of berries, 

 when many-seeded frequently constricted between the seeds. In 

 Anona, &c. the berries coalesce with the receptacle. Ruminate en- 

 dosperm (the chief character that separates A. from Magnoliaceae). 

 Many yield ed. fr., e.g. Anona, Artabotrys. [BH. chars, incl. Po 

 and fl. perig.]
