EunnUi Bunchos Arahum j Rau^wolfius never called it BumiUy nor 
Clujius^ Buna. It is the fruit only they have expreffed by theie 
Words, and never the Tree that bears it, and yet Mr. Ray has 
thought lit to rank them all as Co many Synonyma for his C^e 
frutex, that is, as Names given by thefe Authors to the whole 
Plant. 
Later Botanills have been (b far from not falling into this laft 
mentioned Inaccuracy of Mr. Ray^ that they have carried it a 
great deal further. This Author has only confounded the Names 
of the Tree and Fruit: but in another, I find the Coa^va Egyptian 
rum from Alpinus, placed as a Synonymum for the Jafminu'm 
Arahtcum^ C^'c. of CommeUnus\ that is, a Name never applied by 
Alpimts to any thing but the Coffee Drink, made to fignify the 
Tree which produces the Fruit of which that Drink is made. 
2. That we may be able to take a more particular View of 
the Names contained in the three foregoing Lifts, it will be con- 
venient to fubdivide each of them into fuch as Travellers tell us 
are ufed in the Eaftern Countries, and thofe which the Euvopeaits 
have either borrowed from thence, or invented of their own, 
fince Coffee was known amongft them. 
As to the firft of thefe, I am furprized to find that no Tra- 
veller, except Monfieur Galand alone, has given us any Name 
by which the Coffee Plant it felf is exprefted by the Arahiaris^ or 
any other Eaftern People: The whole Lift we have given of thefe 
Names, except that of the Buun Tree, from Galand, has been 
coined in Europe^ by thofe who knew nothing of the Plant, but 
only that it produced the Coffee Fruit 5 and they who have ex- 
preffed it otherwife than by fuch a Circumlocution, have only 
difeover’d their own Ignorance, and the little Care with which 
they have read the Books of Travels quoted by them. Chahraus^ 
Blegny and LaiJgius^ are of this number j but J. B. and Parkinfo?!^ 
who likewife ufe Oriental Words in exprefling the whole Plant, 
have kept within due Bounds 
3. The Eaftern Names of the Fruit, are either fuch as have 
fome Relation to Bunchum^ Bon, or Cahouah. 
The firft Kind, tho’ there be perhaps fome of them that are 
really Oriental Words, as Bunchum its felf is, are not however to 
be reckon’d Eaftern Names for the Coffee Fruit,- becaufe they 
have only been apply ’d to that upon the Suppofition of its being 
known to Rhazes and Avicenna, and called by them by the Name 
of Bunchum, or fomething like it, which we fliall fliew to be a 
Miftake. Two Perfian Phyficians were undoubtedly the firft who 
fell into it j but it is from Rauvjolfius that it has been handed down 
among European Writers. Bon^
