Diospyros Kaki, Linn. f. (D. chinensis, Blume. D. Schitse, Bunge. D.Roxburghii,Carr.). Fig. 1273. Tree, to 40 ft., with round head: lvs. ovate-elliptic, oblong-ovate or obovate, acuminate, subcoriaceous, glabrous and shining above, more or less pubescent beneath, 3-7 in. long : fls. yellowish white, staminate with 16-24 stamens, pistillate to ¾ in. long; styles divided to the base, pubescent: fr. large, 1½-3 in. across, very variable in shape and size, mostly resembling a tomato, orange or reddish. June. Japan, China. R.H. 1870, pp. 412, 413; 1872, pp. 254, 255. B.M. 8127. G.C. III. 41:22. Gn. 27, pp. 168, 169; 49, p. 171. M.D.G. 1909: 409. Var. costata, Andre. Fr. large, depressed, globular, orange-red, with 4 furrows. R.H. 1870:410, and p. 133. I.H. 18:78. G.C. II. 4:777; III. 9:171; 13:51. Gn. 49, p. 171. Var. Mazelii, Mouillef. Fr. orange-yellow, with 8 furrows. R.H. 1874:70. Other varieties are figured in R.H. 1872, p. 254; 1878:470; 1887:348; 1888:60. A.G. 12:331-8, 459-462.—A very desirable and beautiful fruit-bearing tree for the southern states, where a number of different varieties intro. from Japan are cult., but the hardier varieties from the north of Japan and China, which are likely to be hardy north to New England, seem hitherto not to have been intro. Fig. 1273 is from Georgeson's articles in A. G. 1891. —The plant cult. in Eu. as D. chinensis, which is apparently the same as D. Roxburghii, differs from the Japanese forms of Kaki, which usually have elliptic and glabrescent lvs., in the narrower usually oblong lvs. densely pubescent beneath, less so above, and in the greenish yellow subglobose fr.; it is tenderer than the common Kaki. It must not be confused with D. sinensis, Hemsl., an entirely different species from Cent. China, not in cult.
