Location: USDA TARS, Mayaguez.

Notes:  Open pollinated progeny from Amelonado variety pods.

Bartley, 1993a [BAR93A]. The material in the USDA Mayaguez (TARS) collection derive from open-pollinated seed of West African Amelonado originally supplied for virus-indexing. The plants which developed do not all show typical West African Amelonado characteristics and budwood from some of these plants may have been distributed to other collections. Consequently material may appear in collections labelled as WEST AFRICAN AMELONADO but may represent open-pollinated AMELONADO.
