"The specimen of Boswellia cultivated in the Victoria Gardens, 

 Bombay, are e^^dently not in a congenial climate, and 

 exhibit a weak, drawn up appearance, wanting in 

 those distinctive features which should enable one to 

 connect them with the parent plant from the Somali 

 Country. The drier climate of Aden is doubtless 

 better suited to these plants." D. H., 26 Sept., 1871."
