[The Leaves.] The leaves of it are somewhat like those of a Coker-Nut Tree, they are five or six foot long, and have other lesser leaves growing out of the sides of them, like the feathers on each side of a quill.

The Chingulays call the large leaves the boughs, and the leaves on the sides, the leaves.

They fall off every Year, and the skin upon which they grow, with them.

[The Skins, and their use.] These skins grow upon the body of the Tree, and the leaves grow out on them.

They also clap about the buds or blossoms which bear the Nuts, and as the buds swell, so this skin-cover gives way to them, till at length it falls quite off with the great leaf on it.
