The firft of thefe Acacia's Dr. 

 Plukenet mentions to have been 

 raifed in the Garden of the Bilhop 

 of London at Fulham, about the 

 Year 1698. fince which time it 

 hath been raifed in great Plenty in 

 feveral Gardens near London, where 

 there are feveral very large Trees. 

 This Sort hath produced Flowers irk 

 the Phyfic- garden at Cheljea, which 

 are very minute, and of an herba- 

 ceous Colour; and in the Year 1729. 

 it produced ripe Fruit in the Gar- 

 den of the Bilhop of London at 

 Fulham. The Seeds of this Tree 

 are frequently brought over from 

 Virginia and Carolina, by the Name 

 of Locuft, which, I fuppofe, is a 

 general Name for moft Trees which 

 produce Pods, in which is contained 

 a fweetilh Pulp, furrounding the 

 Seeds. 



The fecond Sort is very like, in 

 the Appearance of the Leaves, to 

 the firft : but, in fome of the Plants 

 which have been raifed in England, 

 there is a very great Difference in 

 their Spines* fome of them having 

 extreme long Thorns, with fmaller 

 growing out of them, and others 

 have very few and fmall Spines. 

 The Seeds of this Tree were fent 

 from Carolina by Mr. Catesby in 

 the Year 1724. where he found it 

 growing in a watry Situation. This 

 Sort has fhort Pods, containing but 

 one Seed in each ; whereas the firft 

 Sort has Pods near two Feet in, 

 Length, each containing feveral 

 Seeds. 



The third Sort is the Tree from 

 whence the true Succus Acacia is 

 taken ; wh^ch, although mentioned 

 as a Native of Egypt, yet is alfo 

 found in divers Parts of America', 

 from whence the Seeds of this Tree 

 have been Tent into England, which
