grow$ as yet, and is of a pale Colour: The Nativ^esufe 
it in the fame Manner with the fixth Sort. 
The eighth Sort is called Catte-Cormde^ that is,, 
the thorny or prickly Cinnamon J Catte, in the Cey- 
Imefe Limguage, is a Thorn, or l-^rickle ^ accordingly 
this Tree is very prickly. The Bark is in fome Mea«^ 
fare like Cinnamon, but the Leaves differ very much,, 
and the Bark it felf hath nothing either of the Tafte

Bark and Leaves of this Tree in Phyhck, applying, 
them in Form of Cataplafms, to Tumours and SwelU

The ninth Sort is called Mael Cormde^ or the 
Flowering Cinnamon, becaufe this Tree is always in 
BlolTom. The Flowers come neareft to thofe of the

no Fruit, which the other doth. The Subflance of 
the Wood becomes never fo folid and weighty in this,, 
as in the other Cinnamon Trees above-mentioned, 
which have fometimes eight, nine, or ten Feet in Cir*

cut, or bored into, a limpid Water will ilfiie out of

Bark. 
The Inhabitants of Ceylon fay, that there is ffill 
another Sort of Cinnamon, which they calf E^oupat

towards Candia. Having never feen it my felf, I will
