And gives at least a _Night of Peace_.

This Rarity may now be seen
In _Lambeth_, at a Garden Green,
_Bowen_ his Name, who in high Tone,
Calls it the _Tree of Silver Spoon_,
Which all the Maids of curious Eyes
May there behold of _largest_ Size.





THE Natural HISTORY OF THE TREE of LIFE.

_The_ DESCRIPTION _and_ PLACE.


The _Tree of Life_ is a _succulent Plant_, consisting of one only strait
stem, on the top of which is a _Pistillum_ or _Apex_, at some times
_Glandiform_ and resembling a _May-Cherry_, tho' at others, more like
the _Nut_ of the _Avellana_ or _Filbeard-Tree_.

Its fruits, contrary to most others, grow near the Root; they are
usually no more than two in number, their bigness somewhat exceeding
that of an ordinary _Nutmeg_ both contained in one strong _Siliqua_, or
purse; which, together with the whole root of the plant, is commonly
thick set with numerous _Fibrilla_ or _capillary Tendrils_.

The tree is of slow growth, and requires time to bring it to perfection,
