Xylopia obtusifolia, A. Rich. (Habzelia obtusifolia, A. DC.). Guimba. Guavica. Guavico de Savana. Pico de Gallo. Fig. 4018. A shrub or small tree with numerous crooked branches, the extremities of which are ferrugineous-pubescent when young. It differs from all other species here described in its perfectly glabrous lvs., which are quite obtuse or rounded at the apex and obovate or subspatulate in outline, coriaceous, pale green and glossy above and paler beneath, and about 1 – 1 1/2 in. long: fls. axillary, solitary, very shortly peduncled, subtended by small scale-like bracteoles; calyx-divisions broad, subacute, and ciliate along the margin; outer petals narrowly linear, acutish, dilated and concave at the base, covered on the outside with rufous silky hairs; inner petals shorter and narrower, triquetrous above, expanded and concave at the base, covering the essential parts; carpels included in the cup-like hollow of the receptacle, numerous, but usually only 2-8 developing into fr.; the latter a cluster of terete follicles more or less constricted between the 2-4 seeds, which have a whitish fleshy aril on each side of the hilum.—This plant is known only from the Island of Cuba, where it is prized for its fine yellow wood. Its local name Pico de gallo (cock's beak) is suggested by the form of its sharp elongated fl.-buds.<br />
