Tree of Phyllanthus acida (L.) Skeels, Growing in Florida. (See S. P. I. No. 



39261.) 



This tree stands on the place of C. B. Douglas at Miami, Fla. The clustering of the shoots al the 

 end of the branches gives it the appearance of having pinnately compound leaves. The l< 

 are in reality simple and alternate. The tree is an at trad ive ornamental in Florida, aside from 

 the fact that it produces large quantities of peculiarly acid fruits. (Photographed by W ilson
