WILD CHERIMOYAS FROM THREE DIFFERENT TREES 

 Three or four cx-nturies of cultivation .seem to have produced very few ehaiiijes in the size 

 and character of the cherinioya. The three fruits here shown were taken from wild trees in the 

 vicinity of the Hacienda I, a (■ai)illa, south of Loja, Ecuador, and are not dilTerent in any impor- 

 tant characteristics from the fruits of cultivated trees in Mexico or (iualemala. \ariation in 

 size and form of fruit, and in the character of tlie surface, is common in all clurinunas, both wild 

 and cultivated. (Fig. 16.)
