Mekongensis. Now under trial in Florida. 



MeloCOTOK, Porto Rico. A small yellow and red form seen at Yauco, said to have come 

 from a grafted stock brought from Martinique. Base very square, stem slightly de- 

 pressed, skin thin, meat with few fibers, mild in flavor.— Collins. 



Moanalua Long Red, Hawaii. This is in all probability a cross between some form of 

 chutney and the sweet mango. The seeds which produced this tree and several others 

 of the more normal type of chutney in the same locality are said to have come from a 

 single parent tree on the island of Maui. The variety is so named because the tree 

 producing this rather peculiar form is located at the Moanalua gardens. Size large; 

 form long and pointed; color before ripening green on the unexposed surface, with a 

 dull red on the exposed side, which brightens to a red orange in ripening, a rather 

 unusual color for a chutney; peeling qualities fair; texture fair; flavor lacking some- 

 what in the character of the chutneys; color of flesh rather dark; seed medium.— 

 Higgins.

 country. Sent to California for trial, in 1911, by Bureau of Plant Industry. 



Weight twenty ounces; size five by four and seven-eighths inches; skin yellow 

 and green, blotched; pulp pale yellow, no fiber, flavor piquant and sweet; stalk scar 

 very prominent; left shoulder level, right shoulder falling; beak large, sharp. Plants 

 of this variety were sent to Florida in 1889 by the writer and have given much satis- 

 faction. — Woodrow. 



Form roundish, oblique, reniform; size large, weighing from three-fourths pound 

 to one pound; surface smooth and undulating; color yellow, beautifully blushed with 

 red and faintly dotted with numerous brown dots; skin thin, tough, tenacious; seed 

 reniform, oval, rather large; fiber scanty, fine, and tender; flesh rich apricot yellow,

The Mulgoba surpasses in flavor and quality the seedlings previously grown, but 

 its most distinctly marked features of superiority are the tenderness of the flesh 

 and absence of objectionable fiber and strong turpentine flavor common to most of 

 the seedlings grown in this country. The tree is a strong symmetrical grower, and 

 appears to be abundantly productive. — 1901 Yearbook U. S. Dept. of Agriculture.
