Riproduzione,' 1816, p. 101-110. Meyen ('Reise um Erde,' Th. ii. s. 214)
states that at Manilla one variety of the banana is full of seeds; and
Chamisso (Hooker's 'Bot. Misc.,' vol. i. p. 310) describes a variety of the
bread-fruit in the Mariana Islands with small fruit, containing seeds which
are frequently perfect. Burnes, in his 'Travels in Bokhara,' remarks on the
pomegranate seeding in Mazenderan, as a remarkable peculiarity.
