Psidium araca, Raddi. Brazilian Guava. Araca Do Campo. Large shrub, the young branchlets hirsute: lvs. oblong-oval, large, obtuse, subvelutinous above, pubescent below, the veins reticulate, somewhat raised : peduncles axillary, 1-3-fld. : fr. ovoid or oblong, yellow, sweet only when fully ripe. Common on the dry uplands of Brazil.—The species disseminated in Calif, by Franceschi under the name of P. Araca does not agree with this description; it is a plant strongly resembling P. Cattleianum var. lucidum, but with broader and somewhat thicker lvs., the frs. usually larger, of a deep yellow color, with few seeds and a more prominent calyx.
