■ he makes a profit of about 201. per annum, by felling it
for the purpofe of poifoning hyaenas. The fruit is
pounded into a powder, and adminiftered in the fame
manner as the Nux Vomica. The powder is put into
the carcafes of lambs, See. which are laid where the
hyaenas are known to come. By eating the flefh they
are infallibly deftroyed.
This plant flowers and bears fruit annually in the ftove
of-the Right Honourable the Earl of Tankerville, at Walton,
the only place it has yet flowered at in this country;
and I believe it is in no other collection in England except
at -Kew. Our figure of the female was drawn from the
plant in his Lordfhip’s ftove in 1795; the male from a
fpecimen very obligingly communicated to me by Mr.
F. Maflhn.
