as the trees . Ahalim , "lign-aloe trees." This tree , which grows in the East Indies , is described as being eight or ten feet in height , with a stem the thickness of a man's thigh. At the top grows a large tuft of jagged and thick leaves , thick and indented , broad at the bottom , but growing narrower towards the point , and about four feet in length. The blossoms are red , intermingled with yellow , and double like cloves; from which comes a red and white fruit , of the size of a pea , oblong and triangular , with three apartments filled with seed. The tree has a very beautiful appearance; and a forest of them is said to bear a resemblance to a numerous encampment. Psalm 1 . 3 , Jeremiah 17 . 18
