Narrative
The provenance of this accession is somewhat unclear. An email from the donor (received 01/17/2001) stated: "Our records show that the original source was seed from Dr Prevatt, Florida Southern College. Notes in the records incidated that Dr Bitters collected the seed. This was back in 1977...I talked to Leon Hebb and he thought the seed might have originated from Miami." It seems unlikely that Bill Bitters collected the seed since this species was not previously at Riverside. If it did originate in Miami, either directly or via Dr Prevatt, it might be PI 109618; however, this would entirely be speculation. Note that due to some errors in bookkeeping, the PI was assigned before the material was received. This is apparently due to the fact that a previous seed lot from the same source had been received 04/01/1992 but either never established or perished. A description of Afraegle gabonensis is available in Swingle (1943) or its revision as Swingle and Reece (1967); a link to the latter appears below. Swingle and Reece (1967) state: "This species grows vigorously and fruits sparingly in the Fairchild Gardens, Coconut Grove, Florida." However, Afraegle gabonensis apparently is not present at FTBG at this time. (RR Krueger, 09/06/2010)
