General note
Inscription (from verso; translation): A branch of the soursop tree with its leaf and its fruit, made at Cap-Haïtien in 1767. Rabié. Natural size / no. 23 Onona muricata. Linnaeus / A branch of the soursop tree, with its leaf, its flower, and its fruit, natural size, 1767. A soursop, cut. The pulp of the soursop is white, juicy, and a little sour. It is eaten with sugar; or else the soursop is cooked in the oven, which removes its acidity. It is an excellent remedy for dysentery. The soursop grafted on the sugar-apple tree produces a delicious fruit, called cherimoya. The acidity of the soursop is mixed with the sweetness of the sugar-apple.
