The Indian Jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana Lam.; S. P. I. No. 45638). 
This species has been grown since ancient times in southern Asia, but up to the present no varie- 
ties of any considerable size have been secured by the department. The fruits resemble small 
crab apples in shape. They have flesh of plumlike flavor, and the species should be of great 
value as a tart fruit for the "warmer parts of Florida, where a number of trees are already in 
bearing. (Photographed by E. L. Crandall, Washington, D. C, February 7, 1922; P27245FS; 
about half natural size. )
