They include ^, ^^^ the galbule (Fig. 45) and pine-cone (Fig. 46); the Pine-apple (Fig. 212), which in its wild state runs up to a spike of flowers, producing seeds; the Fig (Fig. 140), which is called Syconusj the Bois d'Arc, and the Bread- fruit (Fig. 213). The Breadfruit often weighs 50 pounds, and is a foot in diameter. It is prepared in more than a dozen ways for food, and is the chief suste- nanceof the natives of the South Sea Islands and Southern Asia, where it is indigenous. The fruit is a head of female (fertile) flowers. The Mulberry is the same, except that here the flowers are in a raceme. It is called Sorosis in old botanies, from the Gr. soros, a heap ; but this Fig. 213.'—Breadfruit (Artocarpua incisa) ; with 2 heads of ? fla. and 1 catkin of rf Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Ketchum, Annie Chambers, 1824-1904.
