which arc fet in the like manner with the other, with an oddc one at the end, and fome not, but arc fomtwhat 
fhorter and rounder: we have not leene the tree to beai cany flowers with us as yec nor fruicc, but the cods that 
came to us,wcrefmall, long, and fomewhat flat like unto the pods of Laburnum Berne c^efoiie, but longer thin¬ 
ner and blacker,containing itnall grayifh Aiming flac and round feece. 
3. Arbor fpinoja lndica muricatii fitujuii. The prickely codded Indian tree. 
The feede taken out of the prickly huskes of'a tree ilut was brought From the W elf indie.',,was fowne by Ma¬ 
iler George Willmcr at StratfordB and rofeup thar yeaie to be three or foure fooce high, branched forth on 
all fides, and fee with fmall fharpe crooked thornes, both on the maine flemme and branches, having fundry 
winged leaves fet on them, very much refcmbling the laft Virginian Locus. lean give you no further relation 
hereof, in that the planrperiflied in the next Winter after rhefirlt fpringing,for want of (ach due keeping as was 
fit for fuch tender plants, that come out from warmc Countries : T he figure of the pnekely hurke 01 pod, you 
may fee let on the fide cf the figure,with the grayifli pcafe taken thereout alio,which was as bard as a ftone, with 
a white kernell within them,yet not fi king in the water. 
Siliquofa e*r fpinoja trifo/ia lndica Coral arbor ditt a. The Indian Conll tree. 
Clufuu fir ft, and fince him Baptifta Ferrarim by the fight thereof, growing both 3t Rome and in Spaine, hath en¬ 
larged the defeription of this tree, which I will contract inro one, and tell it you thus. It riferh up with many 
flemmes,whofe younger barke is fmooih and grcenc, the elder paler and more rugged, fpreading fairclywith 
branches,armedwith Imall crooked whitilh thornes,and with lairt broad frefli greenc and almoft round Leaves, 
like unto thofe of Arbor /udd-Jud^ tree,but that they end in a point, whole foueftalkes alfo as Clufiuj hath ex- 
prefled, have the like crooked thornes on them, which leaves are three alwayes fet together, thetwolowefl: 
oppofite on Chore footcftalkes,the end one on a longer: the flowers are Peafe fafhion, or like thofe of Phafeolus 
the Kidney Btanc, of an orient red colour like Corall, of which colour alfo arc the Beanes or fruite in pods, like 
unto other Pbafeoli ; it is very tender to keepe,not abiding the lead cold aire, for as Clu/iue fecteth it downe Sip- 
niordc T^rjthechicfeft Thyliiian of Sevill in Spaine in his time, having two trees hereof growing, u hich by 
one Winters overfharpenefle had them both^poyled therewith. I have not altered the name hereof, whereby 
it is generally knowne, l ut if I might adopt one,as I thinke more fitting thereunto, I would entitle it Phafeolus 
arborcui fpinofw Indicw fiore coraUino , 
>-■« •' The Place and Time . 
All thefe foure forts came from the feverall part of America , but we cannot tell you where diflinffly, for the 
two laft,' but the firfl. it is likely catre from Canada, the French plantation, and the lecond from Virginia*. The 
flowring and feeding is likely to be at the time of other trees at the Spring and Fall.
