Costa Rica resembling R. mucosa but with fls. in clusters of 2 or 3, +having the corolla-wings horizontally spreading and slightly decurved, +and with fr. resembling that of the common sugar-apple (Annona +squamosa), with the component carpels rounded at the tips when fresh, +but more or less beaked when dry: lvs. ovate to oblong-elliptical, +acuminate, those of the vegetative branches 7-8 in. long and 2 3/5-3 +in. broad, obtuse at the base, with 18-22 primary nerves on each side +primary nerves and usually rounded at the base; point of acumen either +acute or more usually obtuse or retuse; young branches, petioles, and +lower surface of young lvs. covered thickly with ferru- gineous hairs, +lvs. at length glabrous or nearly so except along the midrib and +nerves beneath: peduncles lf.- opposed, in clusters of 2 or 3, +graduated in length, the longest about 4/5in. long, +ferrugineous-tomentose like the ovate-acuminate calyx-lobes: +the base, widely spreading and usually decurved, never curving upward +and inward, rufous-puberulent: fr. subglobose, about 2 2/5in. diam., +closely resembling that of Annona squamosa, the component carpels
−loosely adhering, very gibbous, rounded or often retuse at the tip
−when fresh; pulp white, edible, but not so agreeably flavored as that
