One of the White Sapotes of Central America. (Casimiroa 



TETRAMERIA MlLLSP.; S. P. I. No. 55445.) 



The common white sapote ( Casimiroa edulis) has been cultivated in California for many years. 

 The species here shown, C. tetrameria, is of more recent i ntroduction and has not yet become 

 well known in this country. At Miami, Fla., it grows lustily and produces in great abun- 

 dance its yeUow-green fruits, whose pale yellow flesh is of very sweet flavor with a bitter tang. 

 Casimiroa tetrameria can be distinguished from C. edulis by its more pubescent leaves. The 

 fruits of the two species are almost identical in character. (Photographed by Edward
