 Rose Apple, gathered from a plant in the Conservatory at 

 Syon House, which was stated to have at one time on it not 

 fewer than 100 fruit. This is a small, oblong, pale yellow 

 fruit, containing two large round seeds, and having the 

 flavour of one of the Alberge Apricots, with an addition of 

 Roses. To the same, for fruit of a plant, the seeds of 

 which were received from Captain Herbert in 1840, and 

 marked " Tree Tomato, of Chili, a valuable fruiting shrub, 

 excellent for Jellies." The fruit was the size and form of 

 a pigeon's egg, of a rich brownish red colour, filled with 

 a purplish subacid pulp, very agi'eeable to tlie taste. The 

 leaves are large, broad, heart-shaped, downy, and emitted a 



Zygopetalum brao.lu petal um.
