BRASILIAN OR JAMAICA PLUM, in botany; a genus of plants belonging to the class of decandra, and order of pentagynia. The calyx is quinquedentate. 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.
