Fusaea longifolia, Safford (Duguetia longifolia, Baill. Annbna longifolia, Aubl.) Pinacoua. Carib Apple. Fig. 1612. A small tree: lvs. oblong-acuminate, mucronate and smooth: fls. issuing from near the base of small branchlets growing from the axils of the lf.-scars of the preceding year, the 2 series of petals much alike; outer stamens sterile and petaloid: fr. ovate- globose, resembling a solid ball, its surface reticulated with shallow impressed lines, nearly smooth, flesh-colored. Guiana.—According to Aublet, the fr. has a good flavor and is eaten with relish by the Garipon and Galiba (Carib) Indians of French Guiana. Intro, into Fla. as a fr.-plant, but very little known. Closely related to this species and possibly identical with it is the Peruvian F. rhombipetala, Safford (Annona rhombipetala, Ruiz. & Pav.) with petals clothed on the outside with appressed sericeous hairs, outer stamens petaloid and connivent as in F. longifolia, )1/5 in. long, smooth near the base and minutely puberulent on the outside near the apex; and obovate-oblong lvs. with short thick petioles and sharply acuminate apices, the midrib and lateral nerves impressed on the upper surface and prominent beneath, the extremities of the latter connected by a submarginal nerve almost continuous from the base to the apex. W. E. Safford. CH
