 Apple (India).

These fruits are practically unknown in this country — though 



" Custard Apple " has been noted on sale in Liverpool (K.B. 



1908, p. 189) — as they are not suitable for shipment ; but in the 



countries of production they are of importance. The original 



form of the generic name was Ct Annona," which implies means 

 of subsistence.
