   "Fruit 
  said 
  to 
  compare 
  well 
  in 
  quality 
  with 
  the 
  cherimoyer. 
  The 
  species 
  is 
  hardy 
  

   and 
  grows 
  quite 
  vigorously 
  at 
  Altadena, 
  Cal. 
  To 
  judge 
  from 
  photographs 
  of 
  fruit, 
  

   leaves, 
  and 
  seeds, 
  it 
  would 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  species 
  intermediate 
  between 
  Anona 
  cheri- 
  

   mola 
  and 
  Anona 
  squamosa, 
  possibly 
  a 
  natural 
  hybrid 
  between 
  these 
  species."
