ANONA

Anona is a genus of plants, the type of the natural order Anonaceae. Anona squamdsa (sweet-sop) grows in the West Indian Islands, and yields an edible fruit having a thick, sweet, luscious pulp. Anona muricata, (sour-sop) is cultivated in the West and East Indies; it produces a large pear-shaped fruit, of a greenish colour, containing an agreeable slightly acid pulp. The genus produces other edible fruits, as the common custard-apple or bullock's heart, from Anona reticulata, and the cherimoyer of Peru, from Anona Cherimolia.
