The third Sort is call’d by the Ceylonefe, Cappe^ - 
roe Coronde^ which is as much as to fay, Campho* 
rated Cinnamon, becaufe it hath a very ftrong Smell 
and Tafte of Camphire. . It grows plentifully enough 
in the Ifland, but not in the Eaftern Parts of it; How- 
ever, they find Means now and then to fend it over 
privately, and fell it to the Danes and Engli/h^ who 
come to Trade upon the Coafts of Cormandeh^ for as 
Jong as there is but one Port in the Ifland left open, 
abundance of this fort of bad Merchandize may be 
exported. Befides, there is a fort of a Canella^ grow* 
ing upon the Continent of India^ about Goa^ which 
■ is very like this fort of Cinnamon Tree, though it 
hath nothing of the true Cinnamon. The fame fort of 
agrees in many Things with the Canella Ma^ 
lab ark a Sylvejtris^ a wild Cinnamon Tree, growing 
upon the Coafts of Malabar. And although with 
regard to the Shape of the Tree, and the outward Ap- 
pearance of the Bark and Leaves, there is very little 
Difference to be obferved between thefe two forts of 
Canella^ and the above-mentioned firft and good fort 
of Cinnamon, yet the latter is vaftly fuperior in Rich- 
nefs. Virtue and Sweetnefs. 
The fourth Sort of Cinnamon is called by the Cey^ 
lonefe^ IVelle Coronde^ that is, the Sandy Cinnamon^ 
becaufe upon chewing it, one feels as it were. Bits of 
Sand between the Teeth, though in Fad there is no- 
thing Sandy in it. The Bark of this Tree comes off 
eaflly enough, but is not fo eafily roll’d up into a fl- 
bular Form, as other forts of Cinnamon are, being 
apt to burft open and to unfold it felf. It is of a 
ffarp and bitterilh Tafte, and the Root of it yields 
but a fmall Quantity of Camphire.
