BREAD-FRUIT. 
Of the Bread-Fruit, or Artocarpus of Lin- 
nseus^ there are two species : the Artocarpus 
Incisa, or Bread-Fruit Tree; and the Artocar- 
pus Integrifolia, or Indian J aca Tree. 
They are milky trees. The leaves are alter- 
nate, stipuled; rolled up, when young, in the 
stipules, which soon fall off, leaving small ves- 
tiges. The aments are axillary, or terminating ; 
the fruits are axillary on the stem and lower 
branches ; and, in some varieties, they are 
wholly destitute of seeds. 
The Bread-Fruit Tree is an objedl: so inte- 
resting and curious, that we shall give a slight 
sketch of what has been said respe6ting it by 
several writers of the first authority. 
The Younger Linnaeus says, tiiat it growls 
to the height of thirty or forty /cet, having a 
trunk as thick as the human body; that the 
leaves, which arc alternate, peciolcd, oblong,
