SPONDIAS, BRASILIAN OR JAMAICA PLUM, in botany; a genus of plants belonging to the class of decondria, and order of pentagynia. The calyx is quinque-dentate. The corolla pentapetalous. The fruit contains a quinquilocular kernel. There are only two species, the mombin and myrobalanus, which appear so much confounded in the descriptions of different botanists, that we do not venture to present them to our readers.
