cornered ligneous stems. The flowers are red within, and white outside ; they are odoriferous, and generally 
the plant is covered with fruits and flowers at the same time, which makes a fine appearance. The fruit, 
Sabine describes (Ho.- 1. Trans, iii. 100.) as very large, of an oblong shape, about six inches in diameter, from 
the stalk to the eye, and fifteen inches in circumference. It is externally of a greenish-yellow when ripe, soft 
and leathery to the touch, and quite smooth ; the rind is very thick, and contains a succulent pulp of a purple 
color (which is the eciible part), mixed with the seeds in a sort of sack, from which it is readily separated. 
Wine and sugar are commonly added to it when used. The flavor is sweet and slightly acid, and it is very 
grateful to the taste, and cooling in a hot climate. It has been successfully cultivated for its fruit in a few 
places, as at Lord Harewood's, Farnley Hall, &c. {Hort. Trans, iv. 60.) 
P. laurifolia, the water lemon, Fomme de Liane, Fr., has a suffrutescent stem, with divaricating filiform 
branches, oval smooth leaves, and very long tendrils. Flowers red and violet, sweet-scented; the fruit about 
the size of a hen's egg, but rather more elongated, and tapering equally at bdth ends ; when ripe, it is yellow 
and dotted over with white spots ; it contains a whitish watery pulp, which, in the West Indies, is usually 
sucked through a small hole made in the rind; the rind is tough, soft, and thin; the juice has a peculiar 
aromatic flavor, is delicately acid, and allays thirst agreeably. It is grown in our stoves, but has not yet been 
cultivated for its fruit. 
P. normalis has berries about the siae of small grapes. The root has been extolled as a counterpoison and 
diuretic. 
P. Murucuja produces fruit of an oblong oval form, about the size of a large olive, and flesh-colored when 
ripe. Both the syrup and decoction of the plant are much used in the leeward parts of Jamaica, where it is 
frequent ; and they are said to answer effectually all the purposes for which syrup of poppies and liquid laudanum 
are generally administered. The flowers are most in use : tliey arc commonly infused in, or pounded and
