This is the plant which several generations ago pro- 
vided the fruits for the famous guava-berry rum of the 
locality. Quite recently an attempt was again made to 
produce this drink commercially. Several barrels of 
guava-berries were shipped to Denmark, but this was just 
previous to the German occupation and nothing has been 
heard of the shipment. Individuals still make guava- 
berry rum for their own use, particularly at the holiday 
season.
