This fhrnbby tree is very common in the Savannas to the eaflward of Kingjhn, 

 and in many other places about the low lands. It branches pretty much towards the 

 top, and feldom riles above ten or fifteen feet in height : the leaves are alwavs

Whether this plant was introduced to Jamaica, or be a native of that place, is not 



certain. It grows and thrives very luxuriantly in the cooler mountains of New Li - 



guanea, and runs frequently to the length of fifteen or twenty feet from the 

 root. The flowers have a great deal of the tafle of water or garden-crefles, and may 

 be ufed with equal propriety in fallets. It is a beautiful flowering- plant, and 

 makes a pretty appearance in all the gardens of NewLiguanea.
