This species was introduced to Hawaii by Mr. A. Jaeger ; and 

 a sini^le specimen of its kind is now growing at the Old Planta- 

 tion, Monolulu. It is a low-growing, slender, willow-like tree of 

 straggling growth. The opposite leaves are small, stitT and 

 rough. The white flowers are fragrant. The small, round fruit 

 is brownish-green, turning to a pale 3'ellow when ripe. The white 

 pulp is slightly acid, and contains many seeds. This guava is 

 rather an inferior fruit.
