Artocarpus incisa. 

 BREADFRUIT ( Samoan var.) 



This variety was introduced to these Islands by i\Ir. James 

 Bicknell. Its large, oval leaves are leathery and rough, and less 

 deeply lobed than are those of the Hawaiian variety. The round 

 fruit has a characteristic raised ring where it is attached to the 

 long stem. The yellowish-green rind is reticulated, and the 

 orange-colored pulp is somewhat sticky when cooked, and is very 

 sweet. This variety occasionally produces seed.
