Both species of Pleiospermium are small trees, and both should be tested as stocks upon which to graft the common citrous frs. So far, attempts to intro. living seeds of P. alatum from India to this country have failed, possibly because of the large size and soft texture of the seeds. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
