ctae, introrsae, dorso basi affixae. Pistillum sessile, ovoideo -trigonum 
birtulum , saepe sterile. Ovarium disco semiimmersum , triloculare • ovula 
in loculis 2, collateralia, angulo centrali sursum affixa, anatropa, elli- 
psoidea, compressa, micropyle sursum spectante. Stylus terminalis, bre- 
vissimus , crassus. Stigma capitato-trigonum , depressum , imberbe. Drupa 
magnitudine Pruni domestici , ellipsoidea, subtrigona, superne attenuata, 
laevigata , glabra , primo pallide virens , deinde nigro-violacea , carne par- 
ca fibrosa nucem ellipsoideo-oblongam costato-trigonam osseam tri-v. 
abortu 1-2-locularem continente. Semina in loculis solitaria, oblonga, 
plano-convexa ; testa membranacea, rufescente. Embryon exalbumino- 
sum , rectum , inversum , amygdalinum , album. Cotyledones carnosae , 
profunde partitae, lobis inaequalibus, varie tortis. Radicula teretius- 
cula , supera. Semina vicem amygdalorum dulcium et cruda et in opsonio 
explent ; nimius tamen eorum usus facile cruditatem ventris efficit. Oleum 
inde expressum odore plane caret, amygdalini instar dulce, ne vetustate 
quidem rancidum. * — In Asia tropica et frequentissima in Archipelago 
indico et Moluccis, minus in Philippinis.

Ind. Or. I. p. 175 exposuit, manifesto apparet, illum discrimen hujus 
Speciei et ejus, quam nomine C. communis descripsit, suspicatum esse. 
Ait enim : // Konig states that , in the wild piant , the nut has three 
//cells, but when culti vated two of them generally disappear; this may 
// explain the difference between GaertneEs figure and those of Konig and 
//Rumph; but we incline to suspect that what Gaertner has figured be- 
//lpngs to RumplEs tab. 48 , and that it constitutes a different species.” 
Mea autem sententia discrimen specificum minus in fructu , qui pro aetate 
arboris et forma et magnitudine admodum variat, quam in stipulis ser- 
ratis cernitur , quamquam et foliolis multo majoribus acuminatissimis 
haec Species a C. communi differt. Ea vulgo spithamam v. 8 — 10 poli, 
longa, ultra manum lata sunt, in vetustis autem arboribus, auctore 
Rumph io paulo minora. — In Moluccis frequens in cultis , rarior in in- 
sulis Sundaicis.
