This beautiful tree is frequent in many parts of "Jamaica, and grows, generally, 

 in low moid bottoms, or (hallow waters. It rifes commonly to the height of twenty 

 or thirty feet, or more; and is furnifhed with large oval leaves about the top: but 

 bears all its fruit and bloffoms from the body and larger limbs of the tree; which, 

 with its upright growth and large leaves, gives it a very elegant appearance. The 

 feeds grow very readily, wherever they meet with a lufficient quantity of moifture, 

 and propagate fo thick, that the trees are always found formed into thickets, or 

 large clufters, wherever they grow.
