 " Fruits of a rare tree. This fruit waa collecteft at Casilda, Trinidad. Santa 

 Clara Province, and is commonly known as nariz on account of its similarity 

 to the fruit of the ilaranon (Anucurdium occi4ientaJe) in appearance, foliage, 

 and inflorescence. It is a very tall tree; the leaves are very large and the 

 peduncle not so succulent as in the Maranon. The botanist thinks that it could 

 perhaps be Anocardium rMnocarpvs, and says that it is found only in the 

 district of Trinidad, and no use is made of the tree or its fruits." {Craicley.)
