The Mamee Tree. 



Thefe trees grow wild in all the inland woods of Jamaica-, but the nrft is more 

 rare, end ieems to (hoot higheft : though the other grows to a very confidence 

 fize, and is generally looked upon as one of the largeft trees in the ifland. 

 Both abound with a ftrong refinous gum, and arc efteemed among the bed timber- 

 trees of the place. The leaves and younger branches of both are full of a yellow 

 milky juice: and the fecond fpecies bears a large agreeable fruit ; but it is too ftrong 

 and grofs for a weakly ftomach, and leaves a bittunefs behind it, that continues 

 for a conliderable time upon the palate. When this fruit is in a perfect flare, it 



contains four rugged, oblong, and angular nuts, which contain fo many kernels of 

 the fame fhape.
