180 Of Plants. Part II. 
(a) Lindh. Of this Tree there are two forts : (a) The beft, called 
L i. c. 76, Catawba, and grows moft in Malacca and Sumatra. Much 
ufed in India for the making of Beads and Crucifixes. The 
wilder, called Palo Daguilia, and grows molt in Seylon and 
Choromandel. With this, they burn the dead Bodies of 
their Brajnenes and other men or account,in token of honor. 
(bj Notx in See hereof alfo Jac. Bontiut. (b) 
Garfiam. A pi£ce q{ i n j ian j^ QQ ^ called GAROK Yery oily 5 in 
colour, hardnefs and weight, like to Lignum Aloe. But 
being held a little to the hre, hath a ftrong fragrant 
fcent, much like to that of Cloves : and feems therefore, 
as well as by its Name, to be the Wood of the Clove-Tree. 
CO Lib. 1. The Clove-Tree is defcribed by Li?ijcboten. (c) Shaped like 
a Bay-Tree. It grows in Amboyna and the Neighbour 
Wands. The belt fort in Makian and Tidor. 
The BARQUE of the Tree LAWANG. Sent from 
Java major, where it is fo called. Being well chewed, it 
hath the felf fame Taft with that of Safafras-Baxquc, fo 
that, probably, the Tree is a Species of Safafras. 
Part of an Arm of the STINKING-TREE 3 as it may 
well be called : for it naturally fmells like the ftrongefl 
humane excrements, efpecially, as upon the emptying of 
a Houfe of Office. It grows in the Ifles of Solon and Timor, 
from whence Sir Phihberto Vernatti . procur d it and fent it 
(d) Phil, to this Mufoeum. (d) Where, though it hath now been 
Tranf.N.tf. p re f ervec j man y years,' yet feems to give as full and quick a 
icentasever. Yet in burning, it yields no fmell 3 as do 
Lignum Aloe and fome other Woods. 'Tis ponderous, 
hard, and of the colour of Englifh-Oak 3 and as that, hath 
large Aer-Veffels 5 yet but few. I fhould have conjectur d, 
that this Wood belonged to the Tree called Ahovaj, which 
hath a ftinking fmell, but that this is faid to be the more 
odious when it burns. 
A piece of SERPENT- WOOD. Lignum Colubrinum. 
There are divers forts of Woods fo calfd. This here is 
different from all thofe Species defcribed by Garfias, and 
out of him by J. Bauhinw. Yet comes nearer!: to the 
Second. Tis above three inches in Diametre, the Barque 
thin, the Wood folid, more than that of Bear-Tree. Of a 
very bitter Tafl: 3 efpecially when reduced to powder. 
A piece of an other fort of SERPENT- WOOD. Within
