 " The fruit of thi.s tree is a great pod from 6 to 10 inches long and 

 4 to 5 inches thick, with two fully ripened seed.s. Often I am told by 

 the natives from Carthagena that it is the same tree as that from which 

 the " Aceite de Caninii" (which I tliink must be Gum Aninii) isobtained 

 along that coast. I have cut into the trees in the .swamp, near Panama, 

 and I find a beautiful balsam exudes. The wood, as far as I have 

 examined, is close grained, and of a very light yellowish colour, and 

 very diflerent from that of the Moi-a exceha." — S. Hayes. 



"In the tidal swamps bordering the Rio Grande, near Panama; 

 1 June, 1861. A spreading tree, 30 to 40 feet high. I have only seen

 Arrostithum aurcum." — S. Hayes.
