As the Rattan growes longer and stronger, this Case growes ripe, and falls off prickles and shell and all.
[Its Fruit.] It bears fruit in clusters just like bunches of Grapes, and as big.

Every particular Berry is covered with a husk like a Gooseberry, which is soft, yellow and scaly, like the scales of a Fish, hansome to look upon.

This husk being cracked and broken, within grows a Plum of a whitish colour: within the Plum a stone, having meat about it.

The people gather and boyl them to make sour pottage to quench the thirst.
[Canes.] Canes grow just like Rattans, and bear a fruit like them.

The difference onely is, that the Canes are larger.
[The Betel Tree.] The Tree that bears the Betel-leaf, which is so much loved and eaten in these parts, growes like Ivy, twining about Trees, or Poles, which they stick in the ground, for it to run up by: and as the Betel growes, the Poles grow also.
