yellow, smooth, shining, 1-seeded ; pulp watery, of a pleasant 
sweet subacid taste ; seed large, white. 
The above description agrees pretty closely with that, of 
Ximenia riultifloka, by Jucquin : I never could detect, how- 
ever, thorns on any of the trees I met with.. — The plum pro- 
duced by this species is very agreeable to the taste, and not in- 
ferior to the common varieties of that of Europe. There is a 
slight astringency with a pleasant acidity. It is well deserving 
of notice, and I doubt not, but that it might be rendered by 
cultivation a very superior fruit.

Browne slates that this is a shrubby tree; 8-9 feet high; leaves 
an inch in length, crowded together on the branchlets ; perianth 
5-cleft. In Mr A. Robinson’s plant, as quoted by Mr. Lunan, 
the flowers are in umbels on a short peduncle ; the ovary 4- 
celled ; style quadragonal ; and stigma quadrate. The plants, 
in both instances, may prove to be merely varieties of the pre- 
ceding species. 
II. ICA CINA ? 
Calyx minute, 5-fid, persistent. Petals 5 , alter- 
nating with the teeth of the calyx, oblong, villous in- 
ternally especially at the base. Stamens <5, alternat- 
ing with the petals ; anthers cordate. Ovary situated 
on an annular disk, 1 -celled. 
Named, from a fancied resemblance between the fruit of I. 
Senegalensis, and that of Chrysobalanus Jcaco. 
1. Icacina dubia. Doubtful lead na. 
Leaves lanceolate subacuminate with a pustulose 
blister in the axils of the nerves, flowers panicled ax- 
illary. 
HAB. Port-Royal and St David’s mountains. 
FL. May. 
A shrub about 6 feet in height : branches loose, subterete, 
glabrous, papillose, compressed towards their extremities.
