Ananas, (of Manning,) This fruit was first received from the London Horti- cultural Society, by Mr. Manning. It is a very excellent pear, with a rich and somewhat pe- culiar flavour, but should rather be called an autumn pine-apple, than a summer one. Fruit rather large, pyriform, or occasionally ob- tuse at the stalk. Skin rough and coarse, dark yel- lowish-green, with a little brown on one side, and much I covered with large rough, brown rus- set dots. Stalk an inch and a quarter long,inserted some- times in a blunt cavity, sometimes without depression, by the side of a lip. Fig. 145. AnamuD'EU, Calyx open, with short divisions, basin shallow.
