Ord. Sapotaceae. Sex. Syst. Hexandria Digynia. A tree which grows in the Antilles, and particularly at St. Domingo. Its fruit is much esteemed. It resembles the marmalade of quinces; and hence has been called natural marmalade. The seeds make an emulsion, which has been given in nephritic affections. The bark has been recommended as a febrifuge.
