This was a large Tree, having many Branches divided into Twigs 
fer oppofite to one another, cover’d with a fmooth, white Bark, under 
which wasa hard Wood, the Twigs always cblerve a Dichotomia, and 
heve at their Ends a crooked Swelling of about a third of an Inch long, 
twice as big as the other Part of the Twig, rough, and of a black- 
ifh Colour, out of which come about three Leaves {tanding ina Tufe, 
each having a quarter of an Inch long Footltalk. They are about an 
Inch anda half long, and three Quarters of one broad near the further 
End, where broadett, where they end round, beginning narrow, and in-

what like the Leaves of the Calabath- Tree. 
Lfound it in a Wood near St. Chrijtopher’s Cove, not far from the Ru-
