Annona montana, Macfadyan (A. muricata, Velloso, not Linn.). Mountain Soursop. Guanabana Cimarrona. Corossolier Batard. Araticu Ponhe. A forest tree, sometimes reaching the height of 45 ft., but usually of smaller dimensions: Lvs. resembling those of the soursop, varnished above and dull beneath, with the pits in the axils of the lateral nerves often conspicuous: fls. similar to those of the soursop, solitary or in pairs: fr. spheroid or broadly ovoid, varying from the size of an orange to 6 in. diam., green at first, at length turning yellowish; skin glabrous, bearing numerous short erect fleshy spines; pulp not edible. This species, which is larger and more robust than the closely allied A. muricata, has been intro. into Fla. for use as stock upon which to bud other species of the genus. W. Indies and N. S. Amer.; thus far unknown from Mex. and Cent. Amer.—The peculiar pits, or pockets in the axils of the lateral nerves of the Lvs. set apart this species, together with A. muricata, from all other species of the genus.
