138 MEDICAL PROPERTIES OF THE CASHEW-NUT TREE. 
Swartz, or any other botanist whose works I have met 
with, was found by me growing on Guinea Com Hill, at 
the south-eastern end of the plain of Bassetere, where no 
doubt it may still be found. In Hayti I met it growing 
along the foot-path to the deserted plantation Destin, or 
Tittine, as it is commonly called ; the same spot in which I 
afterwards found it had been previously discovered by the 
Chevalier Tussax, who has accurately described and figured 
it in his magnificent " Flore d' Antilles." 
In making the cashew wine no addition of yeast is re- 
quired to make the fermentation commence. When new 
the wine is agreeably sweet and pleasant ; but by age 
it acquires the roughness and much of the flavour of port, 
a resemblance which would be greatly increased by the 
addition of the extract obtained from the krameria. 
The subjoined table, which I have calculated from Mr. 
Tobin's directions, exhibits the relative quantities of water, 
sugar, and lime juice, for various quantities of cashew 
juice, and may facilitate future experiments.

By bottling it before the fermentation has wholly subsi- 
ded, a pleasant sparkling wine may be obtained, more 
agreeable even than champagne.
