Artocarpus odoratissimus . 
The marang, S.P.I. No. 36256. 
This remarkable relative of the Breadfruit, from the south 
coast of Mindanao and the Sulu archipelago, described in 
the text of this bulletin by Mr. P. J. Wester, who first 
described it pomologically , shows what horticulturists in 
our tropical territory may expect from a careful explo- 
ration of the less known regions in the tropics. It is 
described as very sweet and rich in flavor, having flesh 
that separates readily and absolutely from both seed and 
skin. The fruit is large, about 6 inches long and 5 
inches across, the thich fleshy rind studded with soft 
greenish-yellow spines, the flesh, white, sweet, rich, 
juicy, aromatic and of good flavor, separated into seg- 
ments about the size of a grape, which cling to the core. 
The ripe fruit is readily cut through the rind which may 
then be easily removed leaving the flesh like a bunch of 
white grapes. Prom half-size photograph, presented by Mr. 
P. J. Wester, horticulturist of the Philippine Department 
of Agriculture.
