By William Cattle y, Esq. 317 



consistence is much like a Strawberry, to which it bears 

 some resemblance in flavour ; and though not equal to that 

 fruit, will probably be liked by many persons ; it is sweet, 

 and has an agreeable acid. As this Guava has not yet been 

 noticed by any botanical writer, it has not of course received 

 a specific appellation ; in compliment to the gentleman to 

 whom the Society is indebted for this communication, and 

 who was the first successful cultivator of the plant, the name 

 of Psidium Cattleianum has been affixed to the figure.
