'T’He figure and hiftory of this were fentby 
* Honoritu Bella out of Candy to ClufiJs 
from whom I haueit. It is that which rbeo- 
fhrajlut calls <*4 drachm or (as moll of the prin- 
ted bookes haue it) ^Andmchne^ but the former 
feemes the righter.and is the better liked by 
Pliny, Id. i cep 2 2. At this day in Candy where 
it plentifully graves, it is called i^/dracla.h is 
rather a fhrub than a tree, delighting in rockie 
and mountainous places, and keeping greene 
Winter and Sommer, hauing leaues fb like 
thofeof Bayes, that they are diflinguifhable 
only by the frnell, which thefe are deftituteof. 
The barke of the bole and ail the branches is fo 
fmoorh, red and fhinmg, that they fhew like 
branches of Corail, this barke crackes or 
breakes off in Sommer, and pills off in thinne 
fleakes, at which time it is neither red nor flii- 
ning but in a meane betweene yellow ;nd afh- 
colour. It hath floures twice in a yeere like as 
the or Strawberry tree.and that fo 
like it, that ou can fcarfe know the one from 
the other • yet this differs from it in that it 
growes onely in the mountaines, hath not the 
leaues jagged,neither a rough barke • thewood 
hereof is very hard, and fo brittle that it will 
not bend, and they vfe it to burne and to make 
ivhorles for their womens fpindles. Theophra- 
ftw reckons vp rhis tree amongft thofe which 
a , • „ , - , . die not when their barkes are taken off, and are

The fruit in Temperature, as in fhape,is like that of the Stawberry-tree.
