 ti-o]dcal America, differing from Anona in having the 

 ]Kdals united into a ;i-G-lolied tiihe, the exterior lobes 

 w-ing-a]ipend:u;-ed, the interior small or none : fr, sonie- 

 finies of separate carpiels: fls, l-;"i mi pieduncles that are 

 terminal or opposite the lvs. The general remarks un- 

 der Anona -will apply to these plants, 



SiSberi, A. DC. [Anonn xnixi-itxii . ,Tacq,). Low tree,
