long, and from three to four broad. Peduncles lateral, 

 short, three-flowered, trifid ; each division three-flowered. 

 Flowers large, white, inodorous. Calyx four-parted ; 

 the opposite segments unequal. Petals four, nearly 

 round. Stamina numerous, &c. as in the genus. Germ 

 turbinate, two-celled, with several ovula attached to the 

 thickened middle of the partition. Style about as long as 

 the stamina. Stigma acute. Berry round, the size of a 

 small apple, greenish yellow when ripe. Pulp of a soft, 

 rather spongy texture, and sweet insipid taste, rarely 

 more than one-celled, containing one or two large, 

 oval, more or less compressed seeds, covered with a soft 

 white integument, the abortive cell, and its contents are 

 very evident in the ripe fruit of this species. Perisperm 

 none. Embryo conform to the seed. Cotyledons of a 

 thick, firm, fleshy texture, and nearly equal. Radicle 

 generally near the middle of the cotyledons. 



The cultivation of this species cannot well be recom- 

 mended, on account of its fruit ; but the tree is one of the 

 most handsome of the genus.
