          37933. ANNONA SALZMANNI. 
Araticum. From Bahia,
Brazil, through Dorsett, Shamel and
Popenoe. Handsome, medium-sized
tree resembling the custard-apple, but
differing in having thick, leathery
leaves with impressed nerves. Its
vigorous, robust habit suggests its use
as stock for cherimoya and for breeding 
purposes.

40305. ANNONA SCLERODERMA. 
Pox-te, or hard shelled
custard apple. From W. F. Curley,
Cajabon, Guatemala. Small tree with
roundish fruits, 3 inches in diameter,
having thick woody rind and soft
custard-like pulp, said to be of good
flavor. Considered very promising as
a new tropical fruit, since it can be
shipped readily. Seeds numerous, size
of a large bean.

ANNONA SENEGALENSIS.
Under this name are probably included
several species all confined to Africa.
Some of them are low shrubs with
fruit scarcely edible and others are
large trees with edible fruits. Compared 
with American species they resemble 
more closely the shrubby annonas 
of the plains of Paraguay,
Argentina and Southern Brazil. 
Introduced for breeding purposes.
