This tree is found in many parts of Jamaica ; tho' it feldom thrives there, fo well 

 as it does in fome of our other fugar-colonies: it grows beft in a free foil, and a low 

 warm fituation ; but is more frequently met with in the hills, and more woody inland 



partfrof that ifland. It grows to a confiderable fize, when railed in a kind foil, 



and is generally looked upon as a good timber- wood -, but when its growth is not 

 luxuriant, it is only fit for cattle-yokes, and fuch other fm all conveniences as require 

 a tough yielding wood. The juice, and tender buds, of this tree, are faid to be an 



antidote againft the poifonous juice of the Mangeneel: they are indeed bitter, and may 

 ferve to prevent excoriations, or blifters, for a time ; and thereby protrad the ope- 

 ration of that cauftic juice, until a part of its virulency wears off, or other aiiiftance 



can 



™.
