I have never feen but one of thefe trees ; it grew on the right-hand fide of the 

 road between Mr. Jones and Mr. Adams's, in the mountains of New Liguanea, to 

 the fouth, immediately under the top of the hill j the trunk was about twelve or 

 thirteen inches in diameter, and raifed its branched top to the height of fourteen 

 or fifteen feet from the ground. The leaves are generally from fixteen to twenty 

 together, fimple, oblong, and fupported by fnoderate foot-ilalks, whereby they are 

 fattened in an umbellated form to the top of fo many common fupporters ; but thefe 

 are generally longer than the leaves j they are of a moderate thicknefs, and fuftain their 

 burthen with great eafe, while the others fpread themfelves like an umbrella, and caft 

 a beautiful (hade below them : the flowers ftand on fimple robuft fpikes j but as they 

 were not grown to perfection when I gathered this fpecimen, I could not give the 

 characters with all the exactnefs I could have wiihed.
