60 SHADE IN COFFEE CULTURE. 



G-anduli. (See Cajanus indicus.) 



G-argatti (Coorg, India). (See Ficus asperrima.) 



G-eno. (See lonchocarjpus.) 



Gliricidia maculata. 



Common name. — Madre cacao. 

 A tree described from Guatemala and used for shading cacao and coffee in the 

 Philippines. In the Revue Indo-Chinois, 1899, M. Lemarie describes, on the basis of 

 a report by Sefior Sanchez, a serious disease of coffee in the Philippines, due to a 

 longicorn beetle the larva of which burrows in the wood. This pest is said to be 

 especially abundant in plantations shaded with the present species, while with 

 Erythrina ovalifolia and E. indica it is much less serious. The beetles are said to be 

 favored by open culture and exposure to sunlight. The present species is therefore 

 considered undesirable, because it is bare of leaves for several months, but impedes 

 the circulation of the air when the leaves come out. Its growth is said to be very 

 rapid, but the above objections should be considered before advising an extension of 

 its distribution. 



Goni (Coorg, India). (See Ficus mysorensis.) 



Goober. (See Arachis hypogaea.) 



Gossypium. Cotton. 



Cotton is one of the several crops sometimes grown in Mexico and other parts of 

 tropical America between the coffee rows while the trees are still young; there is no 

 record of the success of this method on a large scale. 



Grevillea robusta. 



Family Proteaceae. A native of Australia, introduced into Ceylon and Coorg as 

 shade for coffee. Doubtless recommended because of its valuable wood. According i ] 

 to van Gorkam, this tree is thought to serve as protection against the coffee-leaf 

 disease. 



Grewia columnaris. 



Family Tiliaceae. A tree supposed to be native in the Malay region and in tropical 

 Africa. It has been recommended for coffee shade on account of its rapid growth, 

 but is said by Raoul to have serious disadvantages, which he does not specify. 



Guaba (Porto Rico). (See Inga vera.) 



Guacima (Porto Rico). (See Guazuma tomentosa.) 



Guama (Venezuela, Porto Rico). (See Inga laurina.) 



Guamo. (See Inga laurina.) 



Guando (Brazil). (See Cajanus indicus.) 



Guango (Jamaica). (See Pltliecolobium, saman.) 



Guava (Porto Rico). (See Inga vera.) 



Guaymochil (Mexico). (See Pithecolobium didce.) 



Guazuma tomentosa. 



Common names. — Bastard cedar (Jamaica); Guacima (Porto Rico). 

 Recommended in Jamaica for windbreaks about cacao plantations by Dr. Morris. 

 The foliage is said to be of use as food for cattle. This species is common on the 

 southern coast of Porto Rico.
