This tree grows chiefly in the parifh of St. John, and is generally reckoned an 

 excellent timber- wood; but it feldom exceeds fourteen or fifteen inches in 

 diameter. The fize and fhape of the under part of the cup, with its filaments, is 

 very well reprefented in Pk. tho' I very much doubt if he intended the fame plant. 

 I have not feen any of the fruit or enlarged germina of this tree, though I have ex- 

 amined many of the flowers in all ftates.
