G. P. W. Collection. PlATE XXIV' 



Chrysophyllum sp. 



This handsome evergeen tree, with its bright glossy green 

 leaves, is very suitable for hedges and wind-breaks. Its leaves 

 are altenate, irregular, ovate, and accuminate. The small solitary 

 flowers have many creamy white petals, and are very fragrant. 

 The yellow fruit is about the size and shape of a small olive, con- 

 tains a dry mealy pulp, and has one large, flat brown seed.
