Uvaria (Latin, from uva, grape, on account of the grape-like clusters of the fruit). Annonaceae. A group very closely allied to the American Asimina, but composed of Old World tropical plants, more or less clothed with stellate-pubescent hairs, and with a climbing or scrambling habit. Flowers either solitary or in few-fld. clusters, either terminal or lf .-opposed; sepals 3, often combined into a cup-shaped calyx; petals 6, in 2 rows, one or both rows imbricate, or overlapping in the bud (not edge-to-edge as in Desmos), often connate at the base; stamens numerous, short, cuneate or nearly truncate, with parallel pollen-sacks on the back, very much as in Asimina, but with the connective either truncate or terminating in a lf .-like crest: gynaecium formed of a cluster of carpels projecting from the center of the mass of stamens, and developing into a cluster of pedicelled fleshy berries somewhat like those of Artabotrys or Canangium, but with the seeds usually numerous and arranged in 2 vertical rows, as in Asimina, or sometimes apparently 1-seriate. Few of this genus are in cult. For the principal Philippine species, see E. D. Merrill, in Philippine Journ. of Science, Section Botany, 10:228-30 (1915). The following species is the only one occurring about Manila. CH
