Philippine lychee. 



From Honduras. Seeds presented by V. E. Scott, Tela Railroad Co., Tegucigalpa.

A Philippine relative of the lychee {Litchi chinensis) . The tree is about 50 

 feet high, with dark-green pinnate leaves similar to those of the lychee, and 

 roundish oblong fruits about an inch long borne in loose terminal clusters. The 

 tough leathery shell encloses scanty edible pulp in which is embedded a rela- 

 tively large seed. This seed is roasted and eaten. The tree may have value 

 as a stock for the lychee ( L. chinensis ) .
