 dull green, acquiring slight yellow tinge in ripening; flavor peculiar, attractive, having 

 a slight biting taste, supposed by some to resemble the nectarine. The flesh is charac-

No. 5, Hawaii. Locally known under this name. This was among the introductions of 

 Mr. Marsden. It very closely resembles the common Hawaiian Sweet mango, but is 

 rather broader at stigmatic end. Color, flavor, peeling qualities and texture are also 

 much like those of the latter. — Higgins. 



No. 7, Hawaii. Locally known under this name. This variety was introduced, together with 

 No. 9 and others, by Mr. Marsden. Size rather small, form exceedingly variable, great 

 differences being noticeable on the same tree; color a dull, somewhat dingy shade of 

 yellow orange, overlaid with a beautiful orange red on the exposed side; peeling 

 qualities poor; texture inclined to be fibrous; flavor peculiar and not very pleasing; 

 flesh dark; seed of medium size. — Higgins. 



No. 9, Hawaii. This variety, now quite common in Hawaii, was introduced about twenty 

 years ago under this name by Mr. Joseph Marsden, who at the same time added several 

 other forms to the local collection. Form resembling the letter S, stem prominent; 

 size from three and one-half to four and one-half inches long, and two and three- 

 eighths to two and seven-eighths inches broad, and from two to two and 

 one-half inches thick; color before fruit is mature, green, turning to pale yellow 

 when ripe, with a slight blush of pink on the upper end of exposed side; peeling 

 qualities very good; texture variable but most specimens rather fibrous; flavor sweet 

 but watery; flesh light yellow; seed small; tree an abundant bearer. The fruit appears 

 to be quite resistant to the attacks of the mango blight. — Higgins.
