Rollinia deliciosa, Safford. Biriba. Fig. 3423. A tree yielding a delicious, large, juicy fr., resembling the cherimoya: vegetative lvs. obovate-oblong or elliptical, rounded at the base and normally acuminate at the apex, blades 8-11 in. long and 3-4 in. broad, membrana- ceous, when young sparsely canescent-hirtellous above, densely so beneath, especially along the midrib and nerves, at length glabrous above and beneath except along the midrib and primary nerves (18-22 on each side), these reddish brown and slender but prominent beneath; petiole about 2/5in. long: lvs. on flowering branches smaller, the lowermost ones relatively shorter and broader, sometimes broadly ovate or orbicular, 1 2/5-2 2/5 in. long and 1 2/5-2 in. broad: peduncles lf.- opposed, often in pairs, sometimes solitary, rarely in 3's, 1-1 3/5 in. long, bearing a small ovate sessile brac- teole near the middle, strigillose with reddish hairs, like the petioles and nerves of the lowermost lvs. (prophylla) beneath: calyx and corolla canescent- puberulous; corolla-wings compressed laterally, widely diverging and decurved, rounded at the extremity; stamens numerous, closely crowded, the expanded connectives forming a pavement above the pollen-sacs; carpels numerous, ovaries hairy, styles expanded, glandular-puberulpus: fr. a solid depressed subglobose syncarpium, 3-5 in. diam. with the areoles distinctly outlined and terminating in an obtuse beak; peduncle straight and woody, about 2 in. long; pulp fleshy, white or cream-colored, juicy, fine-flavored; seeds compressed, 3/5-4/5in. long and 8-25-2/5in. broad, rounded at the apex, gradually narrowing to the base, hilum not prominent; testa thin, brown, wrinkled by the inclosed ruminate endosperm.—The type of this species, in the U. S. National Herbarium, is from a fr.-bearing tree cult, in the experiment station, Miami, Fla., grown from seeds sent by C. F. Baker from Para, Brazil (No. 22512) in 1908. Baker describes it as the finest annonaceoua fruit of Trop. Amer. It was incorrectly referred to R. ortho- petala, but it is readily distinguished from that species by the decurved wings of its fls.

-Rollinia sieberi, A. DC. Cachiman Montagne. A small tree first
+Rollinia deliciosa, Safford. Biriba. Fig. 3423. A tree yielding a delicious, large, juicy fr., resembling the cherimoya: vegetative lvs. obovate-oblong or elliptical, rounded at the base and normally acuminate at the apex, blades 8-11 in. long and 3-4 in. broad, membrana- ceous, when young sparsely canescent-hirtellous above, densely so beneath, especially along the midrib and nerves, at length glabrous above and beneath except along the midrib and primary nerves (18-22 on each side), these reddish brown and slender but prominent beneath; petiole about 2/5in. long: lvs. on flowering branches smaller, the lowermost ones relatively shorter and broader, sometimes broadly ovate or orbicular, 1 2/5-2 2/5 in. long and 1 2/5-2 in. broad: peduncles lf.- opposed, often in pairs, sometimes solitary, rarely in 3's, 1-1 3/5 in. long, bearing a small ovate sessile brac- teole near the middle, strigillose with reddish hairs, like the petioles and nerves of the lowermost lvs. (prophylla) beneath: calyx and corolla canescent- puberulous; corolla-wings compressed laterally, widely diverging and decurved, rounded at the extremity; stamens numerous, closely crowded, the expanded connectives forming a pavement above the pollen-sacs; carpels numerous, ovaries hairy, styles expanded, glandular-puberulpus: fr. a solid depressed subglobose syncarpium, 3-5 in. diam. with the areoles distinctly outlined and terminating in an obtuse beak; peduncle straight and woody, about 2 in. long; pulp fleshy, white or cream-colored, juicy, fine-flavored; seeds compressed, 3/5-4/5in. long and 8-25-2/5in. broad, rounded at the apex, gradually narrowing to the base, hilum not prominent; testa thin, brown, wrinkled by the inclosed ruminate endosperm.—The type of this species, in the U. S. National Herbarium, is from a fr.-bearing tree cult, in the experiment station, Miami, Fla., grown from seeds sent by C. F. Baker from Para, Brazil (No. 22512) in 1908. Baker describes it as the finest annonaceoua fruit of Trop. Amer. It was incorrectly referred to R. ortho- petala, but it is readily distinguished from that species by the decurved wings of its fls.
-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.
