The Figure, Defcription, and Account of the GofTee- 
Shrub which are hitherto publiilied, being in iome Par- 
ticulars defeftive, it was thought convenient to have 
them mended, by giving a Figure and Defcription of it^ 
taken from a dryed Branch brought from Moha in Ara^ 
lla F^elix by Ivlr. Edward Clyve, who as he was the firft 
who has brought any of its Branches and Leaves into 
thefe Parts, he very frankly gave leave to take a Figure 
of it, and likewlfe imparted the other Particulars in this 
Ihort Account to Oblige theCuricus in thele Matters. 
This Branch, which was taken off a Tree feven or 
eight Foot high, is about five Foot long, and covered 
With a gray almoft fmooth Bark : The Wood is white, 
and the Pith not very large ; the Twigs are covered 
wich a darker colour'd very fmooth Barkj and ariie cp- 
pofite to one another by pairs, (landing crols to one 
another, coming out of oppofite fides of the Branch, 
cr the two pairs next to one another, catting each 0- 
ther at right Aagks. After the fame manner ftand the 
Leaves 011 the Twigs, as the Twigs on the Branches, at 
lo netimes an Inch, and fometimes two Inches diftance 
each pair of Leaves from the other : The Leaves have 
i Incii fjot-ftaiks, being about four Inches long, and two 
broid in the middle where broadefl: ; whence they de- 
creafe to borh extreams, ending in a point. They are 
fiiiDoth, whole, snd without any incifures on their edges, 
fornewhit like the Leaves of a Bay. The Fruit ccmes 
ex alls folioYum hanging or flicking to rhe Twig by \ 
Inch longftrings or foor-flajks, and fomtiimes x,2, or
