THE GRUMICHAMA AS IT GROWS IN FLORIDA. 
(Eugenia dombeyi (Spreng.) Skeels, S. P. I. No. 37836.) 
Although native to the tropical portions of Brazil, the grumichama 
has proved sufficiently cold resistant to be grown in the open 
at Miami, Fla. The specimen in the plant introduction garden 
at that place has attracted considerable attention during the 
last few years, particularly when in bloom. Its foliage is a 
beautiful lustrous dark green, and the abundant, delicately 
fragrant flowers are pure white. The fruit of the grumi- 
chama is the size of a cherry, dark red, with soft flesh of sweet, 
pleasant flavor surrounding a single large seed. (Photo-
