Lvs. short- petioled, the blade firmly membranaceous or paper- like, glabrous, obovate or oblong-elliptical, cuneately narrowed toward the base, which is obscurely cordate; apex more or less acuminate, primary lateral nerves 10-20, prominent beneath, curving upward, connected by secondary nerves almost at right angles to them: fls. fragrant, solitary, long-pedunculate, the peduncle bearing at or above the middle an ovate-lanceolate or suborbicular bracteole often more or less acuminate at the apex; outer petals more or less ovate-lanceolate, gradually narrowing toward the apex, undulate-crispate, white or yellowish, and variegated with purple or brown spots; interior petals shortly clawed, ovate- cordate obtuse, auriculate and pilose at the base; stigma with the circular margin scalloped or entire : fr. globose, more or less longitudinally striate or obscurely ribbed, with the pericarp thick, woody and gourd-like. often 4-6 in. diam., and hanging on a peduncle 24 in. long. An African tree endemic in the forests of Sierra Leone, Upper Guinea, Kamerun, Gabun, the Lower Congo, and Angola. In its native habitat it often reaches a height of 60 ft. or more; but in cult. it is usually much smaller. — The aromatic seeds, with the endosperm ruminate like that of a nutmeg, are highly prized by the native Africans. They are used medicinally and as a spice for seasoning food, and are offered for sale in local markets, strung together like rosaries. }} ==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.
