From Manila, P. I. Received thru ("'apt. George P. Ahern, chief of the Bureau

"This is a small plant, the height of which does not exceed one and one-half of 

 that of a man. and is known only by the name of ' lemoncito.' It usually has about 

 five very leafy branches. Its trunk is nearly 20 centimeters in diameter, of a light- 

 yellow color, with blackish spots hardly perceptible, and of a fine fibrous texture. 

 It is not very well known by the common people. Its branches are slender and 

 produce leaves in groups of three, the middle one being the largest; in the growth of 

 the leaves are found thorns somewhat pronounced; the groups of leaves are arranged 

 in alternating order on either side of the branch up to the end. Its trunk has no 

 odor, but its fruit has an agreeable odor somewhat like maraschino. They appear 

 between the groups of leaves at the time of opening of the calyx of a flower from 

 which they come, and are sometimes found in clusters and sometimes single. In the 

 month of May this plant produces fruit in abundance and they ripen in a few clays.
