This tree is pretty frequent in St. Mary's, and rifes to a confiderable height in

I found this weakly fpreading plant in the parifh of St. George's, on the left 

 hand fide of the road that leads to the eaftward. 



The leaves are large and fliining, 



and the item and branches pretty thick, tho' weakly. The capfula? are moderately 

 large, and thin ; and feem to fliew the plant to be fomewhat allied to the 

 Trichogamila. It is a native of Brafil, as well as of Jamaica : I have feen fome 

 of the feed-vefiels in Mr. Baker s collection, which he received from that part of 

 the world, by the way of Portugal.

I found this fhrub near the beech at Tort Antonio, where it grows to the height of 

 eight or nine feet, or better. The fruit has all the flavour, and much of the ap- 

 pearance, of the European plumb ; but the fliel! of the feed is fmooth, and the pulp 

 and fkin of the fruit of a pale red colour. The leaves and foot-ftalks are all of a

This tree is pretty common in the woods of Portland, and generally reckoned one 

 of the bed timber-trees in the ifland, efpecially where ftrength or elafticity is re- 

 quired ; but it feldom grows to any very confiderable fize. Quere if it be not a 

 fpecies of the Erythroxylum.
