CASIMIROA EDULIS. 
This new fruit has been sent me by that zealous botanist and enterprising traveller, Dr. Seemann. 
In writing from Nicaragua he says : — “ With other seeds I have the pleasure to send ‘ Casimiroa edulis,’ 
a large fruit like an apple, which was brought to this country from Mexico by the soldiers and colonists 
of Montezuma, and of which you will see a figure in Botany of the ‘ Herald' I fancy it may prove hardy 
in the southern parts of England, and might be introduced into Australia with the greatest advantage, 
as it is evergreen, and capable of standing any amount of drought, and some degree of cold.” 
This fruit is described in Botany of the Voyage of H.M.S. Herald" Flora of North-Western Mexicoy 
and thus spoken of : — “ This tree has a remarkable tendency to accommodate itself to different climates. 
It grows from the lowest coast-region to an elevation of 7,000 feet, producing everywhere an abundant 
harvest.”
