The following quotation from Ramon de la Sagi-a is 

 transcribed on this sheet : — 



" Observation". Ce n'est pas sans quelque hesitation que je rapiiorte 

 cette espfece au Myrospermum toluifcrum. Cette espfece est en effet, 

 fort peu connue, et je ne connais pas encore une description de ses tieurs 

 et de see fruits.
