Part II. Of Nun. 203 
An Oval PALMACOCO, about the bignefs of a 
Nutmeg. 
Another, of a ftraw colour, wrinkled, knobed, and forne- 
what compreffed, Figurd in fonie fort by B auhinus, (a) 00 Tom. 1. 
under the Title of Avellana Indie a peculiar is Came- 
rarij. 
A BROAD PALMACOCO. An inch over or in breadths 
from the Bafe to the top directly, not above K That al- 
moft flat, this with a blunt point. It hath three Holes on 
the fides, almoft equidiftant. 
An ORBICULAR PALMACOCO. Yet a little com- 
preffed, as a Bowl. Not above * an inch Diametre 5 of the 
colour and hardnefs of Box 3 furrow'd as a Peach-Stone. 
On the fides are three equidiftant Holes, over-fpread with 
black capillary Fibers. 
A RHOMBOID-NUT , of affinity with the former. 
An inch and * long 5 * broad, and I an inch thick, the fides 
being a little comprefTed. Cover'd round about with 
fmall woody Fibers, produced from the Stalk or Bafe to 
the top of the Shell. 
The FAVEEL or FAUFEL The Fruit of a kind of 
Valine, by the Malabarins called ARECCA. Defcribed by 
Garcias, Bauhinus, and Wormiw. But by none of them 
well. It hath a three-fold Cover, of fo many forts of 
work. Theutmoft, confiding of ftraw-colourd, foftand 
( as Garcias rightly ) downy Fibers. The middle, of yel- 
lowifh, and fturdy ones , of the thicknefs of a fewmg 
Needle : about ? an inch longer, than to the top of the 
Shell, yet couched down round about it. The inmoft, a 
thin (lender Cafe, but woody. Yet lined with a pithy fub- 
ftance. All contrived for the greater warmth, and gra- 
dual expofing of the Nut within to the Aer. This Nut is 
about the bignefs of a little Nutmeg ; but not fo long. 
This Fruit grows in Malavar and the lOand Mombaim. 
Being eaten unripe, it ftupifies, and as it were inebriates. 
For which caufe, (b) fome eat them to make them unfenfi- (b) Garcia*, 
ble of great pains. Garcias faith,That he ufed their DiftiU'd- 
Water, in Bilious Diarrheas, with great fuccefs. 
A FRUIT very like to the Faufel. Bauhinus defcribes 
and figures it out of Clufius, by that Name. Yet it feems, 
to me, to be the Faufel it felf in the Bud.
