  fine. 
  I 
  may 
  add 
  

   that 
  we 
  have 
  had 
  a 
  particularly 
  severe 
  winter,

  a 
  considerable 
  fall 
  of 
  snow

   This 
  Colombian 
  tree, 
  closely 
  related 
  to 
  the 
  cashew 
  nut, 
  was 
  first 
  named 
  Rhinocarpue 
  

   excelsa 
  by 
  Humboldt, 
  Bonpland, 
  and 
  Kunth 
  in 
  1825, 
  and 
  was 
  afterwards 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  

   genus 
  Anacardium 
  by 
  De 
  Candolle, 
  who 
  used 
  the 
  generic 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  original 
  authors 
  

   for 
  his 
  specific 
  name. 
  The 
  binomial 
  Anacardium 
  excelsum, 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  correct 
  name 
  

   for 
  the 
  species 
  according 
  to 
  present 
  rules 
  of 
  nomenclature,

  never 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  

   published.
