    raised ribs, and the leaves are much like those of T. cacao, but more cordate at the base. The fruit of T. sylvestris. from a Plate by the same author is small, smooth, yet still showing the five divisions of the pod by slight depressions or lines on the outside at equal distances from each other. The leaves are small and suggestive of the ordinary form borne by “ Criollo.” The pod of T. bicolor, Humboldt, is woody in texture, hard and dry, and specimens can be kept for any length of time. There is a specimen, collected in Veragua in 1885, in the Herbarium of the Botanical Department of Trinidad, and also specimens of the leaves and flowers, and these have since been supplemented by specimens grown in the gardens where it is established.
