tufe, the nerve commonly ending in a little point. The 
corolla is rofe-coloured, or rather the colour of a peach 
bloffom. Legume fomewhat lefs than a fpan in length, 
containing eight or ten feeds. Forfkal obferves, that tire 
flowers hang down ; that the corolla has fometimes fix or

CA'DIZ, a city and fea-port of Spain, fituated on a 
fandy peninfula, in the Atlantic Ocean, at the entrance of 
a bay to which it gives name, firft built by the Phoeni¬ 
cians, who called it Gadez. Old Spanifh chronicles give 
it the name of Calis, and hence Englifh feamen ufually call 
it Cales. Its form is nearly fquare ; on the fouth fide it is 
rendered inacceffible by the fea, from the Height and fteep- 
nefs of the (bore ; on the eaft fide, towards the land, it is 
defended by two ftrong baftions ; and to the north by fe- 
veral rocks and fand-banks : the point which runs out 
wefterly is defended by St. Sebaftian’s fort, which covers 
the entrance of the bay. It is likewife defcndedLy a caf- 
tle: the fireets are broad, ftraight, and veil paved; the 
houfes are large and commodious, and the number of mer¬ 
chants who refide there can fcarcely be imagined ; in fa iff, 
the whole city is engaged in trade. In the year 1776, 
949 fhips from different ports entered the harbour of Ca¬ 
diz. The commerce of Cadiz can leave but few hands to 
indtiftry ; there are, however, about twenty ribbon looms, 
and machines for knotting filk, which appear to have a 
confiderable (ale for their produce. There are feveral ma- 
nu failures, vvhofe chief employment is to put their marks 
on the (lockings they receive from Nimes, and which are 
then (hipped for the American fettlements, where all fo¬ 
reign (lockings are prohibited. There are feveral linen 
manufactures in the neighbourhood, but the manufacture 
of fait is their moft interefting branch of induftry. Cadiz, 
is furrounded with walls, which contribute more to itsem- 
bellifhment than to its defence. This port is the cen.tre
