 (See S. p. I. No. 39144.) 



This Australian tree has grown very -well in southern California and in Florida, having produced 

 good crops at about 7 years of age. The nuts are about the size of large marbles and of a most 

 delicious flavor, resembling that of Brazil nuts, but more delicate. This tree (S. P. I. 21249) 

 was introduced in the form of a seed from Brisbane in 1907 and planted out in Cuba in January, 

 1909, bv H. A. Van Hermarm, on whose estate it is standing. (Photographed by Wilson
