Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Atalantia ceylonica, Oliver (Rissoa ceylonica, Arn.). Fig. 434. A much-branched spiny shrub or small tree native to Ceylon and India: Lvs. lanceolate emarginate, 1¼-3 in. long: fls. borne in crowded cymes; calyx not split on one side; stamens free, alternate ones longer; ovary usually 2-celled with 2 ovules in each cell: frs. about ½-¾ in. diam., dry, having only rudimentary pulp-vesicles; containing from 2-4 very large rounded seeds. Ceylon. —This species is of interest chiefly for trial as a stock, since its large seeds would be likely to produce very vigorous seedlings. The dry fr. renders it unpromising for breeding purposes. The figure is from a specimen grown at the Hope Garden, Jamaica.
