There are also represented in the Garden a series of the cherry-like myrta- 

 ceous fruits, all worthy of cultivation, and with great possibilities if modern 

 methods of cultivation and breeding were applied to them. Among these are : 



Jaboticaba - -- -- -- - Myrciaria cauliflora Berg. 



Pitanga Stenocalyx michelii Berg. 



Grumixama ------- Stenocalyx brasiliensis Berg. 



Araca do Para Britoa acida Berg. 



In fact, horticulture has yet to see some of its greatest marvels when modern 

 methods of cultivation and breeding are applied to the tropical fruits. 



There is but limited space in the Garden for specimens of the great timber 

 and forest trees of the Amazon, and yet Dr. Huber has gradually built up a 

 considerable collection of living specimens, some of them already of good size. 

 Conspicuous among these is the fine assortment of leguminous trees belonging 

 to such genera as Inga, Pithecolobium, Cacsalpinia, Macrolobium, Campsian- 

 dra, Szvartcia, Hymenaca, Sclerolobium, Crudya and Lonchocarpus. Besides 

 the larger trees, there are everywhere scattered through the Garden a great
