1. Guaiava, Guavanoun

   The flowers consist of five leaves, produced in a circular order, having many stamina or threads surrounding the ovary: the ovary is of a long tubulous figure, which becomes a fleshy fruit, crowned on the top, and containing many small hard seeds. The fruit, says Sir Hans Sloane, is extremely delicious and wholsome. They have only this inconvenience, that, being very astringent, they stop up the belly, if taken in great quantities.
