| Notes: | Label source: A North American tree, of the wood which Professor Sargent speaks favourably. 'It is, however, he says, 'in Texas at least, rather small, scarcely six inches in diameter and not very common. In Northern Mexico it is said to grow much larger, , and could probably be obtained with some trouble in sufficient quanities to become an article of commerce.' Of this wood Mr Scott says 'It is sufficiently good as regards the grain, but the specimen sent for trial was much too small for practical purpos, es.' Mr RH Keene the engraver says it 'is nearly equal to the best box.' | ||||
