This plant groweth in all the tract of the East and West Indies, and also in the countrey 〈◊〉〈◊〉, now called Virginia, from whence it hath beene brought into Italy, Spaine, England, and other countries: in Italy it sometimes beareth fruit, but more often in Spaine, and neuer as yet in England, although I haue bestowed great pains and cost in keeping it from the iniury of our cold 〈◊〉〈◊〉.
It groweth also at S. Crux and other places of Barbary, and also in an Island of the Mediterra∣nean sea, called Zante, about a day and nights sailing with a meane winde from Petrasse a port in Morea, where my seruant William Marshall (before remembred) did see not only great store of those trees made of leaues, but also diuers other round bodied plants of a woody substance: from whence he brought me diuers plants thereof in tubs of earth, very fresh and greene, which flourished in my garden at the impression hereof.
