Unona (in imitation of Anona). Annonaceae. A genus based by the younger Linnaeus on an American plant belonging to the previously established genus Xylopia, and afterward incorrectly applied to the Old World genus Desmos, of which it becomes a synonym. U. discolor, Vahl, cult. in tropical gardens for its sweet-scented fls., is identical with the previously described Desmos chinensis, Lour.; U. Desmos, Dunal, is D. cochinchinensis, Lour, (see Desmos, in Vol. II). Belonging to other genera are Dunal's U. uncinata, which is the fragrant Artobotrys odoratissimus of the Orient; U. violacea, which is undoubtedly a species of carrion fls., Sapranthus, closely allied to Sapranthus nicaraguensis; U. penduliflora, which is the aromatic ear-flower, or xochinacaztli, of the Aztecs (Cymbopetalum penduliflorum, Baill.); and his U. acutiflora and U. xylopioides are both synonyms of the spicy Xylopia grandiflora, St. Hil. B. L. Robinson's U. bibracteata, the fragrant "flor de guineo," which ranges from Nicaragua to Panama, and his U. panamensis have been set apart by the writer under the generic name of Desmopsis. The latter has recently been rediscovered by Henry Pittier at its type locality in the Canal Zone. Both of the latter species are figured by the writer in the Bull. Torr. Bot. Club, vol. 43, pp. 183-93 (1916). See also W. E. Safford, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club. 39:501-8 (1912). CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
