Brazilian plum {Eugetiia BrasiUensis Lam.) or 

 Spanish cherry is widely known as the 

 grumichama of Brazil. It was probably 

 first introduced by Don Marin, but fine trees 

 may be seen in the garden of Mrs. Mary E. 

 Foster, introduced by Dr. Hillebrand. The 

 deep piirple fruit is the size of a cherry: 

 the leaves are oval or obovate 3 inches long 

 by 1 V2 broad and occur scale-like along the 

 branches. The edible fruit has a very 

 agreeable flavor.
