A smaO-sized tzee, with handstmie, shining foliage. The iniitB, which are

 The chief reason tar the introductioaii of tibis species, howerer, lies in ihe posBir 

 bihty of its being used as a stock for the maze tender mangoBteen, Garemia wum- 

 gotHana. Tenqiexatiires as low as 20^ F. above zero have been recorded at 

 Sehamnpur; this species should, theref«e, be sufficiently hardy to do well in 

 south Florida and possibly in the wami^est parte of CaliitHuia. ' '

 which is five deft and subbilabiate, is of very Aart duration, but as the calyx 

 is a ooaospicuous part 61 the flower, &e long racemes hangiTig pendant from the
