{{Inc| Rolliniopsis (Greek derivative, signifying Rollinia-like, from the form of the fl.). Annonaceae. Fructa De Macaco. Monkey-fruit. Shrubs or small trees of Brazil having fragrant 3-winged fls. like those of Rollinia, but with aromatic frs. in the form of a cluster of small distinct drupes, instead of a fleshy sweet syncarpium, as in Rollinia.—Only 4 species have thus far been described, all from Trop. Brazil. The type of the genus (R. discreta, Safford), Fig. 3425, has been successfully intro. into cult, in the S. U. S. by the Office of Foreign Seed and Plant Introduction, U. S. Dept. of Agric. (S. P. I. No. 15508). This species, discovered by Dorsett, Shamel, and Popenoe in the vicinity of Januaria, state of Minas Geraes, has orange-colored pear-shaped drupes, locally known as Fruta de Macaco (monkey-fruit). The thin aromatic mesocarp surrounding the solitary seed tastes very much like the fr. of certain species of Xylopia, called malaguetas in the vicinity of Panama, and also suggests the flavor of the Mexican xochinacaztli, or earflower (Cymbopetalum penduliflorum) the spicy petals of which, together with vanilla, were used by the Aztecs for flavoring their chocolate in pre-Columbian times (see Cymbopetalum). The other known species are R. simiarum, Safford, recently discovered by Rose and Russell, of the Carnegie Expedition, in the state of Bahia; R. pariflora (Rollinia parviflora, St. Hil.), of Rio de Janeiro; and R. lepto- petala (Rollinia leptopetala, R. E. Fries), of Piauhy, Brazil.—See Journ. Wash. Acad. Sci., vol. 6, p. 1916. W. E. Safford. }} Describe the plant here... ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
