6. A.. Scortechinii (after Eev. B. Seortechini), Bail. Scorteehini's Crab 

 or Logan Apple. A small tree, the branohlets often of a reddish colour. Leaves 

 obtuse-lanceolate or obovate, subcoriaceous, 2 to Sin. long ; petioles about Jin. 

 long. Cymes axillary, few-flowered. Peduncle slender, about as long as the 

 petioles ; the 3 branches usually bearing 2 flowers at their extremities. Pedicels 

 about 2^ lines. Sepals very short, broad, glabrous. Petals 4J lines long, ciliate. 

 Filaments dilated at the base, tapering upwards, margins densely ciliate except 

 towards the top. Fruit globular, reddish, exceeding fin. diameter, 4-celled, with 

 a juicy epicarp. Seeds oval, testa brown, slightly rugose.

 The fruit of this tree, which is of a sharp, pleasant acid taste and red colour, is useful for 

 jam-making. The Logaii River specimens I have referred to at times as a form of A. acidula, 

 F. V. M., and the Fraser's Island ones as a form of A. imperforata, but now consider these two 

 forms identical, and, although agreeing often somewhat in foliage and flowers, distinct from all 

 others of the genus in fruit.

7. A. vestita (branches clothed with tomentum), F. r. M. Fragm. iv. 155, 

 ix. 104. A small round-headed tree with a somewhat smooth light-coloured bark. 

 Branchlets slightly or densely clothed with short hairs which extend more or less 

 to the petioles and the principal nerves of the leaves on the under side. Petioles 

 from 1 to 2in. long. Leaves 3 to Sin. or more long, and some 4in. or more 

 broad, thin-coriaceous, ovate-oblong or ovate-lanceolate. Cymes of few flowers 

 on rather long slender peduncles. Fruit white, the large ones about lin. 

 diameter, almost globose in outline, very irregularly corrugated, often forming a 

 point at the apex and slightly tapering at the base, hard when dry but in a fresh 

 state the epicarp fleshy with a sharply acid juice. Seeds oblique-oval, nearly 

 black. If to 2 lines longj more or less rugose. — A. acidula, F. v. M. Fragm. iv.
