Fic. 108 Top. Dr. Shantz saw this tree in Central Congo. Egyptian Sudan, near Laurenzo Marquez. Mozambique; in Northern Rhodesia,—in Northern Transvaal, dry agricultural grasslands; agreeable fruit, oil-giving kernel; final value unknown. (Courtesy H. L. Shantz.)—I*tc. 109. Bottom. A bunch of fruit of the pejibaye. Grows from Nicaragua to Ecuador, from sea level to 5000 feet; seedless, indicating culture for ages; main food supply of many peoples. Our complete ignorance of it is suggestive of undeveloped tropical resources. See Journal of Heredity, 1921. (Photo Wilson Popenoe.)
