{{Inc| Xylopia muricata, Linn. (X. jamaicensis, Griseb.). Smaller Bitter-wood. Fig. 4018. A shrub with ovate or lanceolate, long-acuminate lvs., with the slender acumen often obtuse at the tip, clothed beneath with strigose hairs, and bearded at the tip: fls. small, in axillary clusters: berries punctate.—This species, the type of the genus Xylopia, was based by Linnaeus on a plant growing in the mountains of Jamaica described and figured by Patrick Brown in his Natural History of Jamaica, and called by him Xylopicrum, on account of the bitter taste of its wood. The vernacular name was applied to it to distinguish it from X. glabra, Linn., a species based on Plukenet's Xilopicron, or Lignum amarum, of Barbados, commonly called bitter-wood. }} ==Cultivation== <!--- Type cultivation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Propagation=== <!--- Type propagation info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ===Pests and diseases=== <!--- Type pest/disease info below this line, then delete this entire line --> ==Species== <!-- This section should be renamed Cultivars if it appears on a page for a species (rather than genus), or perhaps Varieties if there is a mix of cultivars, species, hybrids, etc --> ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}}<!-- remove this line if there are already 3 or more photos in the gallery --> <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
