The manna sold in the bazars here, is imported from Bussorah, and is 

 the same with that described by Dr„ Fothergill, in the paper to which 

 I have referred. The plant which yields it, is supposed to be the Hedy='

 called, by RuMPHius, Gomutus Gomuto, (Amb, L 57. j and by Dr. Rox- 

 burgh, Saguerus Rumphii, (MS.) This tree is also valuable, on account 

 of the black fibres which surround the trunk at the insertion of the leaves;
