  "This

  a 
  variety 
  of 
  coffee 
  supposed 
  to 
  have 
  originated 
  as 
  a 
  mutation 
  

  

  from 
  the 
  common 
  Arabian 
  coffee. 
  It 
  was 
  discovered 
  in 
  Brazil 
  about 
  1870. 
  The 
  leaves 
  

  

  of 
  this 
  variety 
  are 
  much 
  broader 
  and 
  the 
  berries 
  larger 
  than 
  in 
  the 
  ordinary 
  type. 
  The 
  

  

  plants 
  are 
  very 
  vigorous, 
  but 
  are 
  usually 
  shy 
  bearers."
