| Limonia, Swingle (Schinus limonia, Linn. Limonia acidissima, Linn. F. elephantum, Corr.). Wood-Apple. Spiny deciduous tree, native to India, Ceylon and Indo-China: bark gray, rough: lvs. odd-pinnate, 3-7-foliate; lfts. opposite, obovate, blunt at the apex, sometimes emarginate, entire-margined with a short petiolule; rachis margined, articulate, spines long and straight, axillary: fls. (sometimes male by abortion of the ovary) dull red, small, in terminal or axillary long- pedicelled panicles; petals 5 (rarely 4 or 6); stamens 10 (rarely 8 or 12), filaments short, dilated at base and densely pubescent on the sides and within; anthers large; ovary Swelled, with many ovules in each cell; stigma cylindrical, sessile: frs. globose or oblate, in. diam., having a hard, woody rind filled with a pinkish edible pulp in which the numerous woolly seeds are immersed. For discussion of name and synonomy, see Journ. Wash. Acad. Sci. 4:325 (n. 12, June 19, 1914). 111. Roxbg., Pl. Coromandel., Pl. 141. Gt. 34:1206. Wight, Ic. Pl. Ind. Or., Pl. 45; Beddome, Fl. sylvat. South Ind., 1:121; Talbot, For. Flor. Bombay, fig. 124; Engl. & Prantl, Nat. Pfl.-fam. III. 4, 193, fig. 112. —The pulp of the fr. which is acid, is used for making jellies somewhat similar to black currant jelly. It is also made into a kind of chutney with oil, spices and salt by the natives of India. The fls. and lvs. of this tree have an odor of anis and are used as a stomachic. The commonly cult, species of Citrus can be grafted on this plant and wood-apple seedlings are now being tested as stocks by the U. S. Dept. of Agric. in Calif, and Fla. and also in the greenhouses in Washington, D.C. | | Limonia, Swingle (Schinus limonia, Linn. Limonia acidissima, Linn. F. elephantum, Corr.). Wood-Apple.
