The surface is deep Eurple in color, the skin thick and woody. There is a slight amount of discoloration in the flesh, ut no fiber. The flavor is rich, and the seed is not large. The fruits commence to ripen two to three months earlier than those of other trees in the same section (Purula, Baja Vera Paz), and continue through a period of nearly six months. The fruits being so small, the tree is able to carry a large number. (Photographed, natural size, at Tactic, Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala, April 4. 1917.).
