The yamaica Walnut. 



This (hrubby tree is frequent about the Ferry, and often rife to a confiderable 

 height. The outward part of the fruit is foft and pulpy, when ripe ; but the hard 



lignous (hell, and the partitions and lobes of the feeds, as well as the parts of th 

 flower, agree perfectly with the general characters of the genus.
