FIG. 



Some years ago, this variety of Fig was to be found growing 

 in large numbers at Makawao, and in the Kula district of Maui. 

 Now, however, there are few, if any, trees remaining, as a de- 

 structive bhght, together with tlie lack of proper attention, has 

 caused tlieir e.xtermination. Tliis variety is very prolific. Tlv.; 

 fruit is small, pear-shaped, and has a particularly sweet and 

 delicious flavor.
