This tree is common in mod of the fugar-colonies, and is generally found near 

 the fea. It grows frequently to a considerable fize, and is then looked upon as a 

 beautiful wood for all ibrts of cabinet-ware, but it feldom riles ftraight or regular. 

 The leaves are large, round, fmooth, thick, and open at the bale; the foot-ftalks 

 are ftrong, and vaginated at the bottom in all the fpecies, and the flowers imall; 

 and placed on flender fpikes at their ate. 



The berries are generally about the lize of common grapes j they have an agreeable 

 flavour, but the pulp is not coniiderable. The kernel is lobed at the bottom ; it is a very 

 great aftringent, and may be ufed in emulfions, bolus's, or electuaries, of that na- 



ture, 



with great propriety ; but its action is not of a long continuance : it has all 



the tafte of Bijlort.
