fffiMENTIERA CEREIPERA. (Bignoniaceae . ) 28674. Plants turned 
over to the Department for distribution, by Dr. J. N. Rose. 
"This is one of the most remarkable trees of the tropics, 
native of Panama. It grows 30 to 40 feet high, and produces 
from its stem and old branches, a profusion of fruits which 
look exactly like wax candles, as the botanical name implies. 
So close is the resemblance that travelers, seeing the tree in 
fruit for the first time, are liable to be puzzled as to 
whether the candles of shops are made in factories or grow on 
trees. The fruits are fleshy and juicy, and have a peculiar, 
apple-like ordor. They are eaten by certain tribes, and also 
by cattle," (Rose.) Por immediate distribution.
