84 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. 



SWEET SPANISH.* Evidently only a form of Monstrous. 

 Fruit 4-6 in. long, 2-3 in. diam., but slightly tapering 

 toward the apex, usually with three or four furrows extend- 

 ing from the base to the apex, giving a uniformly prismatic 

 shape with rounded angles. Plate 17. 



YELLOW SPANISH.! Identical with the preceding except 

 that the fruit is of a bright yellow color. 



===== =a Fruit squarish, subtruncate, slightly longer than broad, 



sometimes very oblate; apical end often much contorted. 



Plant like the Monstrous. Fruit 2-3 in. long, 

 in. diam., subtruncate, 3-4 prominent furrows ex- 

 tending the entire length, often with one or more second- 

 ary furrows between the prominent ones near the base 

 which vanish toward the apex, often lobed about a central 

 nipple and sometimes much contorted at the apex, 3-4 

 celled; flesh -| J- in. thick, slightly pungent. The fruit 

 appears exceptionally subject to great variation, and very 

 oblate forms often appear which are almost identical with 

 the Squash pepper. Professor Bailey has recorded a 

 variation toward the Cayenne type. The oblate form of 

 Bell may usually be recognized by a slight projection at 

 the apical end, while in the Squash variety this char- 

 acter is usually wanting. Plate 18, and plate 19, f. 1.
