{{Inc| Atalantia macrophylla, Kurz. (A. monophylla var. macrophylla, Oliver). A small or medium-sized tree, native to the Andaman Isis, and Burma, having ovate- elliptical emarginate Lvs. 1½-4 in. long and 1-2½ in. broad: fls. on short axillary racemes; calyx irregularly lobed, split to the base on one side as in A. monophylla; stamens connate and forming a tube: fr. large, said to reach 1½-2 in. diam. Andaman Isis., Burma, Malay Peninsula, Bangka Isl.—Little known and is chiefly interesting because of the large size of its frs. Kurz, in his "Forest Flora of British Burma." says of this species: "Berries globose, the size of a wood-apple, glabrous," and gives the size of the wood-apple as 1½-2 in. diam. A tree brought from the island of Bangka, east of Sumatra, and now growing at the Botanical Gardens at Buitenzorg, Java, is considered by Hochreutiner to belong to this species. It is of remarkable size, being a beautiful round- topped tree 40 ft. high with a deeply furrowed trunk 6 ft. in circumference, forking at 3 ft. from the ground and branching profusely at 6½-10 ft. No other species of Atalantia is known to reach this size or to bear frs. so large. This species is of unusual interest for trial as a stock and also for hybridizing with other citrus frs. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
