 rather an inferior variety, few collections contain more than a very

Leaves rather long, flat and erect, of a pale yellowish green colour, and mealy on the 

 under surface. Spines middle sized and regular. Flowers purple. Fruit orbicularly 

 cylindrical, before ripening pale green and rather mealy, when ripe dark ochre. Pips 

 large, flat, depressed in the centre and plaited round the margins. Scales covering half 

 the pips, of a whitish colour, and terminating in lengthened blunt points. Flesh bright 

 lemon colour, very juicy and high flavoured without sweetness or briskness, rather of a 

 coarse and stringy nature. Crown large and spreading, leaves numerous. 



This is a fruit of great beauty but not of particular excellence, 

 generally weighing from three to five pounds; the scales being 

 whitish, and the margins of the pips plaited, cause it to have a novel 

 appearance. 



We have received it from Java, under the name of Java Broad- 

 leaved and Java Narrow-leaved, and also from St, Vincent's.
