ANS
pened cuttings planted in sand, under a glass,
root readily ; and fresh seed obtained from the
tropics, sown in pots, and plunged in a strong
hotbed, will speedily furnish good plants. The
fruit is a pretty berry of a sub-acid taste, often
as large as an orange, but in general more like
a plum. A. Cherimblia produces a succulent
fruit of a dark purple colour, containing a soft
sweet mucilage, and is much esteemed by the
Peruvians. A. retimlàta yields a yellowish,
sometimes reddish, fruit, of the consistence of
custard, and is much esteemed by some people.
A. palústris bears a large, smooth, heartshaped,
sweet-scented fruit, of an agi'eeable
taste, but is a strong narcotic ; the wood of
this plant is so remarkable for its soft spongy
nature, as to be employed in Brazil as a substitute
for corks. Sijnonyme: 1, A. tripétala.
