Mammea Americana
The fruit of this tree, under the name of
mammee apple, is very much esteemed in tropical countries. It
often attains a size of 6 or 8 inches in diameter and is of a
yellow color. The outer rind and the pulp which immediately
surrounds the seeds are very bitter, but the intermediate is sweet
and aromatic. The seeds are used as anthelmintics, an aromatic
liquor is distilled from the flowers, and the acrid, resinous gum
distilled from the bark is used to destroy insects.
