The Bakopary (Rheedia brasiliensis (Mart.) Planch, and Triana), S. P. I. 



No. 37802. 



Tlie bakopary, native of the State of E io de Janeiro, Brazil, and occasionally planted in gardens, 

 is a handsome ornamental tree and produces bright-yellow fruits with translucent, white flesh. 

 The flavor is subacid, delicate, and spicy, strongly suggestive of the mangosteen, to which it is 

 related and for which it may prove a good stock. (Photographed at Rio de Janeiro by Messrs. 

 Dorsett, Shamel, and Popenoe, January 2, 1914; natural size; P15415FS.)
