Cordia coUoccoca. 



CLAMMY CHERRY. 



This low tree, with its spreading branches, is a native of the 

 West Indies, and is rarely met with in these Islands ; there being 

 but two trees of its kind known to me, one growing at the Old 

 Plantation, Honolnlu, the other at Honoulinli Ranch, Oahu. The 

 whitish branches are very brittle. The leaves are obovate, oblong, 

 glabrons abo\'e and shin}' beneath. The subsessile flowers are 

 whiteish-pnrple. The fruit, which is half inch in diameter, is 

 bluntly pointed and smooth. The fleshy pulp is sticky, and ad- 

 heres to the single seed. This plant may be grown from seeds 

 and from cuttings.
