Scientific Names

Read about Fusaea in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Fusaea (probably from Latin fundo, signifying melted or fused together, referring to the carpels). Annonaceae. South American trees or shrubs, resembling Annona in the form of fruit, a solid, spheroid syncarpium composed of one-ovuled carpels fused together, but differing from that genus in having its petals imbricate or overlapping and in the outer circles of its stamens which are sterile and petaloid.—A genus of very few species. Fusaea longifolia was first described as Annona longifolia by Aublet. It was afterwards placed in the genera Duguetia and Aberemoa, from the last-named of which it was set apart by Baillon as the type of a subgenus or section Fusaea. In the genera Duguetia and Aberemoa, however, the carpels are discrete, or separate, and not fused together; in the former the indumentum is usually stellate-pubescent or scurfy, and in the latter the carpels are not only quite distinct but are borne on short pedicels. From the structural features above mentioned, it is evident that it merits generic rank. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
