PI. 302. 
THE MADRONO, A HARE FRUIT OF COLOMBIA AND ECUADOR. 
(Rheedia madrono (H. B. K.) PI. and Tr., S. P. I. No. 52301.) 
The madrono is produced by a tall, stately, very handsome tree 
which grows in the lowlands of Colombia and Ecuador. The 
fruits, here shown natural size, are lemon yellow, with snow- 
white flesh of delicate texture and spicy subacid flavor. The 
tree is probably too tender for cultivation in any part of the 
United States except southern Florida, but it should be grown 
throughout the Tropics. (Photographed by Wilson Popenoe, 
Cali, Colombia, December 4, 1920; P18285FS.)
