Rollinia sieberi, A. DC. Cachiman Montagne. A small tree first described and figured from the island of Trinidad and erroneously referred by its collector to the common custard-apple, Annona reticulata, to which its fr. and lvs. bear a certain resemblance: lvs. oval-oblong, acute at apex and base, usually 5-6 in. long and 2-3 in. broad, thin, above puberulous with the nerves pilose, beneath paler and more pilose, narrowed at the base into pilose petioles 1/4in. long, some of them at the base of the branches broadly ovate and obtuse, about 1 in. long: peduncles lf .-opposed, 1-fld., 1-1 2/5in. long, bearing 2 small ovate-acute bracteoles, one near the base, the other about the middle: corolla-wings laterally compressed, Linear-oblong, rounded at the apex, diverging, straight or curving slightly upward: fr., according to Pere Duss, usually larger than that of Annona squamosa, the surface divided into pronounced raised squamose areoles rounded at the tips; pulp fleshy, nearly white, melting in the mouth, slightly viscous, with a sugary agreeable flavor. Type collected by Sieber (No. 96), in the De Candolle Herbarium.
