Artabotrys uncinatus, Safford (Annona uncinata, Lam.). Fig. 384. A shrub with climbing divaricate branches; young branches slightly pubescent at first, at length glabrous, more or less zigzag: lvs. lanceolate or oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, usually acute at the base, glabrous on both sides, glossy, and with short thick petioles, 5-10 in. long by 2-3 in. broad: hooked peduncles glabrous, curved downwards almost like a spiral, somewhat flattened, usually opposite a lf., often with the portion of the branch above it more or less aborted, so as to make it appear terminal; calyx 3-parted, the divisions ovate-acute; petals 6, ovate-lanceolate, brownish red on the upper part, with broad claws, woolly or pubescent ("cottoneux”), concave within and constricted between the claw and the limb, the 3 outer petals about ¾ in. long, somewhat larger than the inner, and relatively broader; ovaries about 8-12, gradually tapering upward to the obtuse stigmatic apex, clothed with minute hairs, and containing 2 basal collateral erect ovules: frs. several, rounded-ovoid, abruptly pointed at the apex, nearly sessile, about the size of a walnut inclosed in its hull, at length smooth, lightly punctate, and inclosing 2 oblong seeds truncated at the base, rising side by side from the base, more or less compressed and bearing a marginal groove around the periphery of the hard bony testa.—This species was described by Lamarck from specimens collected by Sonnerat in the E. Indies and Madagascar (see figs. Dunal Anon. pls. 12, 12a). It is very closely related to A. odoratissimus, R. Br., from which it apparently differs in the broader shape, reddish brown color, and "cottony" indumentum of its petals. If, as supposed by many botanists, the two species are identical, the specific name uncinatus of Blume, which it more closely resembles, the latter, set apart by Hooker & Thomson as a distinct species under the name A. Blumei, must yield to the earlier specific name, and A. odoratissimus, R. Br., be retained as a species distinct from Lamarck's though supposed by its author and his followers to be identical with it. A. uncinalus, like its very close ally, A. odoratissimus, is frequently planted in the warm regions of the eastern hemisphere for the sake of its fragrant fls.

Artabotrys odoratissimus, R. Br. Climbing Ylano-ylang. Alang-ilang Songsong. Tail-grape. Alang-Ilang De China. A woody climber or half-scandent shrub: young branches puberulous, at length glabrous: Lvs. short-petioled, oblong or oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, acute at the base, thin, coriaceous, both sides glabrous, glossy, reticulate between the lateral nerves: hooked peduncles 1- or 2-fld., extra-axillary, usually opposite a lf. or subterminal; fls. rather large, greenish to yellow, very fragrant; petals flat, glabrous, or silky- puberulous at the base, thick and coriaceous, lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, nearly 2 in. long when full-grown, constricted near the base and connivent over the essential parts, widely spreading above the constriction, inner petals similar to the outer but slightly smaller; stamens numerous, short and thick, wedge-shaped, with the connective broadly dilated above the 2 pollen- sacs, which are adnate on the back of the fleshy filament and open extrorsely by longitudinal fissures; ovaries glabrous, several, each with 2 erect ovules at the base; styles linear-oblong or club-shaped: berries plum-like, clustered on the hardened receptacle, oblong, narrowed at the base, nearly sessile, with a small point at the apex, smooth, yellow and fragrant when ripe. S. China, Formosa, India, Ceylon, Burma, Philippine Isls. B.R. 423.—A species widely cult, in the warm countries of the eastern hemisphere and in conservatories, for its fragrant fls. and frs. This species is tender in Cent. Fla. and should be banked with dry sand. It needs rich soil and should be well fertilized each year. Easily prop. by seeds.
