Gum tnaflick from the ifle of Scio; as this 

 tree, commonly called Lcntifcus, is doubt- 

 ed to be the genuine MalHck-tree, feeds of 

 the true kind may be procured ii'oin the

This tree grows in Italy, Syria, and India; 

 but the warmer climates vield the befl jj-nm. 



Seeds of the Plant, from whence this excel- 

 lent drug is procured, were fent into Eng^ 

 land about jo years ago, from Aleppo, by 

 the late Dr. Alex. Rullel : It bears this cli- 

 mate very well, and produces feed in hot 

 funirners; but requires the warmer cli-r 

 matesof Carolina, Georgia and the Flo- 

 ridas, to make the gimircfin that flows 

 from it a beneficial article of commerce. 

 It is fo frequently adulterated in Turkey, 

 that, in order to have it genuine, it is well 

 worth propagating in our colonies. 



This is recommended tobefownin ourfouth- 

 cm colonies of North-America," for the 

 fake of obtaining the opium pure. ^ 



This grows in Upper-Egypt, and is brought 

 from thence to Alexandria; it would not 

 be difficult to procure the feeds of this 

 ufcful drug. 



This plant grows in moifl: places in China, 

 and is of great ufe in that country. 



The feed of this plant was brought to Eng> 

 land about ^\v<^ ycarsago, by Dr. Mouufcy,
