This Account is dated in 17145 M. Munnickhaufen mud there- 
fore have had his Plant before that time • but we are fure it was 
in that Year (Mr. Bradley fays about the latter End of it) that the 
Magilfrates of Amjlerdam fent a large Tree bearing Fruit in a Pre- 
fent to the late French King. Monf La Roque faw it immedi- 
ately after it was plac’d in the Royal Garden at Parky and from 
what he fays, we Iikewife learn that there were fome fmall Plants 
there before. On the 25?'^ of Juljy fays that Author, Monf 
‘ Ve Juffieuy Doctor of Phyfick, and Royal Profeflbr of Botany, 
‘ was fo kind as to carry M. Galandy Arahick Profeflbr in the 
^ Royal College ^ M. Parent y of the Academy of Sciences, 
^ M. OnangCy a learned Chinefcy and my felf, to the Royal Gar-- 
^ den, to fee the young Coflee Plants that are there 5 but at our 
^ Arrival we were told that the King’s firfl: Phyfician had fent 
^ thither the great Coffee Tree lately come from Holland y and 
^ which had been prefented to His Majefly by the Magiflrates of 
^ Amjlerdam. We went therefore firfl to fee this rare Plant,- and 
‘ we confidered it a great while with Pleafure. It was in a Cafe 
^ in the fame Glafs Frame with the Torch Thiflle of Perouy be- 
ing about five Foot high, and not above one Inch Diameter. 
^ It flioots out divers little Branches that arife all along the Stalk, 
‘ and altogether form almofl a Pyramid 5 the Feaves are all rank’d 
^ in Pairs, but not fo big as thofe I had fi'om Arabia. And 
M. G aland perceiv’d no Difference between this Tree and one 
‘ he had feen at Conjlantinople . There was green Fruit upon it 
^ about the Size of a fmall Plumb 5 red Fruit almofl like a Cherry, 
‘ and fome nearly ripe, of a much deeper Colour. The HoI~ 
‘ lander who was intrufled with the Care of it, and came alontr 
‘ with it from Marly, told us there was another flill at Amjler- 
‘ dajriy much larger than this, being as high as the fecond Story 
^ of an Houfe, and proportionably thick. This great Tree came 
‘ originally from Arabia, being tranfplanted very young, and 
‘ carried to Ja^oa, where after it had grown for fbme time, it 
‘ was at length fent to Amjlerdam, and there continues flill to 
^ profper. (^In all this our Author nvas mifmjorm'd.) From the 
^ Fruit thereof a great many Trees have been rais’d ; fbme of 
‘ which have bore Fruit at three Years old j and, as the Dutchman 
^ told us, the Tree fent to the Kincr was of this Number,
