T have given his synonym with a doubt. By whom this species was first introduced into England I 

 have not yet learned. Mr. Forsyth, of Kensington Gardens, received a tree of it some years ago from

 was the first that found its way into England. 



As I am entirely obliged to Sir Joseph Banks , for the first knowledge of this species, I have dven 



it his name.
