Pleiospermium (from the Greek for many and seed ) Rataceae tribe Citreae. Small trees distantly related to Citrus, but having fruits filled with mucilaginous pulp. Limonia § Pleiospermium, Engler, 1896.Leaves trifoliolate, bifoliolate, or unifoliolate; spines straight, singly or in pairs in the axils of the lvs.: fls. in terminal panicles or axillary clusters; ovary 5-celled with 2 ovules in each cell. — Two species are known, ranging from India and Ceylon to Java. 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
