i'hcfruit ofthis is ibc Malacabean, ormark-

This excellent fruit is much eilccmed in the 

 Eaft-Indics, and it is faid there is a tree of

 By theclefcription which Dr. Solander gives

This grows in New-tipain, Mexico, and 

 Peru. 



It is brought from the Bay of Campeachy, 

 and the gidph of Honduras, where it grows 

 in plenty, andmiglit eafily be propagated 

 in Florida, 



in Brazil, and Martinico. 



This tree grows near Carthagcna, in South- 

 America. 



This tree is known to yield the true Gum 

 Copal, and thatthe difference between this 

 and Gum Anime, may be owing to foil 

 and keat of chmate; it grows wi d in our 



American iflands, the Mufquito Shore, 

 and in Terra Finiia. 

 This phuit is fuppofed by fome to be a kind 

 of Bindweed or Convolvulus, that grows 

 near Mexico ; by others it is thouglit to 

 be a fpccicy of Marvel of Peru. As we 

 artf uncertain of thegenus, it is well worth 

 enquiring into, as a nioft ufeful drug, in 

 order to propagate it in our colonies.
