This plant has been introduced, and is now cultivated with great care in Jamaica, 

 where it frequently grows to a pretty moderate fize; but the exhalations are too great, 

 and they feldom bury it deep enough, or crop it fufficiently to bring it to any great 

 perfection. Itjs remarkable that this plant grows without any fort of care, and in 

 great perfection, in the fand-hills near Catwich in Holland; from whence we may 

 conclude, that it naturally requires a depth of free loofe foil, as well as heat.
