Brosimum (Greek, edible). Moraceae. A genus of 8 species of large trees of Trop. Amer., yielding edible fr. : fls. monoecious, or rarely dioecious, inside or on the outside of a fig-like receptacle. B. Alicastrum, Swartz, is the bread-nut of Jamaica, but it is not grown within the U. S., except in most of the botanic gardens. It bears round yellow fr., about an inch in diam., containing a single large seed, which is edible after roasting. The tree has shining lance-elliptic entire Lvs. Prop, by cuttings of young wood in a bell-jar with bottom heat.
