HEDGE OP THE PITANGA OR SURINAM CHERRY IN BAHIA, BRAZIL. 
Although the Surinam cherry {Eugenia uniflora) has be- 
come a well known shrub In Florida its frequent use as a 
hedge in Brazil may suggest a similar use for it in Flor- 
ida. It is an evergreen and its crimson fruits ripen 
throughout the winter and when perfectly ripe are very 
palatable. It is not spiny and in this respect is infe- 
rior to Carissa. Photo No. 15283 by Dorsett, Bahia,
