Xylopia discreta, Safford (Unona discreta, Linn. f. Habzelia discreta, A. DC.). Peyricoboom. A shrub or small tree with privet-like, or willow-like lvs. and slender, flexible, virgate branches: lvs. alternate, short-petioled, 2-ranked, narrowly oblong-lanceolate, about 1 in. long, clothed beneath with appressed silky hairs: fls. resembling those of an Annona but with the carpels distinct and stipitate, developing into a cluster of berries borne on the center of the indurated receptacle: berries purple, aromatic, oblong-linear, 1-3-seeded, more or less constricted between the seeds; the latter ovate-globose, smooth and glossy.—This species was first described by the younger Linnaeus from a tree growing in Surinam, or Dutch Guiana, and proposed by him as the type of a new genus Unona. It proved, however, to be congeneric with Xylopia. The name Unona was afterward applied to an Asiatic genus previously described by Loureiro as Desmos, but according to the laws of botanical nomenclature, was not available for the name of a second genus. The generic name Desmos is therefore valid, and must be used for the Asiatic plants commonly called Unona. (See Desmos, Vol. II, p. 991 of this work.)
