Anona muricata., Dun. the Sour sop, and A. reticulata, L. the Bullock's 

 heart, are common in native gardens. Both are tropical American, and 

 were early introductions to the East, where no Anoiia is native. The 

 A. nsiatica, L. is indeed based on Hermann's Ceylon collections, but his 

 drawing represents the Trop. American A. squamosa^ L., the Custard- 

 apple. Hermann seems to have also confused Mormda citrifolia with 

 this. (See Journ. Linn. Soc. xxiv. 144.)
