 The floures of tbefe are fwect of fmell,and like to Oliue floures. Neither doth Colnmeh or Flinj 

 vnaduifcdly take this for Ziziphus, for both'the leaues and floures grow out of the tender and yong 

 Jprung twigs,as they likewife do out of the formenthe floures are very fwcet of fmell, and caff their 

 lauor far abroad : thc fruit alfo is like that of the former.
