Galls from Aleppo and Smyrna. 



This grows in Egypt, and is much ufed in 

 dyeing. A fpecies of it, brought into Jamaica 

 by the Jews, for an ingredient in their foups, 

 thrives well. Br. p. 



They are propagated at Aleppo, where the fe- 

 male, or fruit-bearing ones, are ingrafted on 

 ftocks raifed from the nuts. 



This is fuppofed the fame as the copal or cu. 

 palm tree, which grows on the continent ; but 

 I take it to be the ococal, or gum niatricalis, of 

 New Spain. 



The feed might be obtained from Turkey. 



The trees producing thefe gums grow in New- 

 Spain. 

 This comes from Afrlc. 



New Spain and Brafil. 



Grows in China, and introduced into Jamarea 

 bv Mr. Ellis, where it is now growing. 



In Guadaloupe, and Martinico. 



In Sumatra, and feme Engliih Grcen-houfes. 



In Java, and ti.e warmeft pp.rts of the Eaft 

 Indie?. 



This grows in Erafil, and is fuppofed the fame 

 as that ot Carolina, and the adjacent Southern 

 colonies. 



This is already introduced into the ifland, as 

 has been mentioned, but deferves a more gene- 

 ral cultivation. 



This is thought to be a different fpecies from 

 the cathew tree of the Weft Indies. The fruit 

 of it is the Malacca bean, or Oriental anacarciiitm 

 of the (hops. The tree yields the varniftv com- 

 monly ufcd in the Eaft Indies.
