The Nariz Tree, Anacardium excelsum (Bert, and Balb.) Skeels, a 

 Relative of the Cashew, at Trinidad, Cuba. (See S. P. I. No. 

 40987.) 



A magnificent South American tree, attaining a height of 65 feet, with an erect compact head of 

 dark-green foliage. The fruits, which ripen in August, are dark brown, about an inch long, 

 reniform and flattened, and shaped somewhat like a nose, whence the name nariz. The fruit stalk 

 is not large and swollen, nor are the seeds considered edible, as in the cashew. The tree is worthy 

 of trial as an ornamental , although the fruit appears to have no value. ( Photographed by Wilson 

 Popenoe, July 17, 1915; P16417FS.)
