tea-Soatchoun has lanceolated leaves 

 and the tea Linkifom has hoary or 

 rough leaves. 



Captain Eckeberg brought a little 

 tea-fhrub, the third of Gclober i 7 6* 

 to Sweden ; which is the firft that 

 ever came to Eurofie, for all forts 

 of trees die oh the voyage : but the 

 way to obtain them is to put the 

 frefli feeds into pots in China, a lit. 

 tie before the fhip fails. And as a 

 tea tree, according to Kampber*, ac- 

 count, attains its full growth of 

 about fix feet high in feven years, it 

 is probable that Dr. turnout, tree 

 is now in full vigour. He intends 

 to multiply this fort of tree, and to 

 expofe it then to the open aifj as 

 the tea-fhrub grows as high as the 

 latitude of Pekin in the open air, 

 Where the winters are far more fe- 

 vere than in England and in the 

 louth of Sweden. It is therefore 

 highly probable that this attempt
