 Brazil, through Borsett, Shamel and

 tree resembling the custard-apple, but 

 differing in having thick, leathery 

 leaves with impressed nerves. Its 

 vigorous, robust habit suggests its use 

 as stock for cherimoya and for breed- 

 ing purposes.

 custard apple. From W. F, Curley,

 of a large bean.
