¶ The Place.

This tree groweth in diuers places of France, Italy and Spaine, where it bringeth forth little or no gum at all: it groweth in Iudaea, Pamphy∣lia, Syria, Pisidia, Sidon, and many other places of Iurie or Palestine, as also in diuers Islands in the Mediterranean sea, namely Cyprus, Candy, Zant, and other places, where it bringeth forth his gummy liquour in full perfection of sweet∣nesse, and also in great plenty, where it is gathe∣red and put into great Canes or Reeds, whereof as some deeme it took the name Calamita; others deeme oft he leaues of Reeds wherein they wrap it: hereof I haue two small trees in my garden, the which I raised of seed.
