52 CALYCIFLOR^e. 



trunkH of the trees lieinf; very uneven witli deep crevieex ami projectint; 

 iin>,'les, sonietinicM ox if twiHteil. Tliene truiikK are from one to two feet 

 ill ilianiet«r, of <;ooil lianl wood, excellent for fuel, and of a yellowihli 

 folour. They are, with their upreading topti, sixty or heventy feet in 

 height. T have Hpeciniens of the leaves, as j,'Of)d as I ran jjet at this 

 sfsason of the jear, and shall send some of them ; and that there may he 

 no mistake or I'onfiision in gcttin},' together the fruits r.f one tree and the 

 havea of another, I shall iilaoe a little of the fniit with them. The 

 native name of the tree is " Frijolillo." I could not fail to ol>ser%e the 

 great resemhiance this tree hears to the halsani tree of San Salvailor, 

 liut the leaves are very <lifierent and the juice of the tree dries up to a 

 kind of gum, like kino, and is not halsamic. May not this tree lie a 

 Pttrocarpiix, and one of tliose mistaken for the halsain of Toln?" — 

 S. Hayes. 



"At Cathagcna it Ls called "Cajou" ; on the Isthmus, "Frijolillo."

"In the numher of its leaflets this tree agrees with P. elegans, Vog. ; 

 but it appears to me, however, very doubtful if P. clrgnnn and 

 P. grandiflm-um, Benth., be really distinct "— D. H.
