Small trees, mostly with un- branched trunks, the juice milky. Lvs. near the top of the trunk, alternate, large and vari- ously lobed, soft, long-stalked: plant usually dioecious: fls. in racemes from the leaf-axils, the staminate funnel-shaped and bearing 10 anthers on the throat, the pistillate larger and with 5 distinct petals and 1 pistil with 5-rayed stigma. There are about 20 species, in tropical Amer. They have somewhat the aspect of palms. Under glass in frosty countries, the common C. Pa- paya is frequent, and is grown for its foliage and interesting habit (Fig. 363). In frost- less countries, this spe- cies is grown for its fruit (Pig. 364), which is oblong or egg- shaped, a foot or so long, orange - yellow when ripe, thick-skin- ned, with many small black seeds. The young fruit is cooked and eaten, and the ripe fruit is eaten by na- tives. L. H. Please note that these images are extracted
