 market and planted in 1908. The original tree is not very large having 

 been cut heavily for budwood and also somewhat injured by the freeze

 blossoming and bearing themselves almost to death, unless prevented by 

 thinning the fruit.

Two varieties have been described under the name of Lyon. This 

 one was described by P. J. Wester in the Philippine Agricultural Review 

 for February 1914. The original tree grew from seed imported in 1903 

 by L. Lyon, the horticulturist of the Philippine Station at that time.
