    Artocarpus altilis (Parkinson) Fosberg

  • Collector(s)

    E. D. Merrill 830, Feb 1915

  • Location

    Philippines. Manila, Luzon.

  • Description

    This form of the breadfruit tree is common in cultivation in the Philippines but is nowhere wild, and hence undoubtedly an introduced plant in the Archipelago. In appearance it is identical with the form described by Blanco as Artocarpus rima, but differs constantly in always producing fruits with numerous seeds, while A. rima Blanco is always seedless.
