The followng note on this specimen is in D. Hanbiu-y's 

 writing : — 

 " Tliis branch was received with a large supply of pods, which, thougli 

 of full size and quite ripe, were rarely found to contain a perfect seed. 

 The pods with good seeds when placed in earth soon threw up shoots 

 and afforded healthy plants. Some pods were sent to Mr. Thwaites, 

 Ceylon, and some also to Mr. Binnendyk, Buitenzorg, Java." — D.H.

 from the town of Mahates, which is on the Digue, about 1.3 leagues from 

 Carthagena, on the 2nd April, 1862, tlie tree at this time having 

 neither flowers nor fruit. I saw the tree also at San Juan, New Granada, 

 which is 25 leagues from Carthagena. I am told it gro%\s in the 

 neighbourliood of Turbaco, but I could not ride to the spot, and I was 

 unable to walk." — S. Hayes.
