We regret to say that we lost the drawings and the notes which we had collected about the tree called by the Brazilians "panacea" on account of the many ailments for which they use it.

This tree is exceedingly common in Brazil; knowing its name, foreign homoeopathists will find it perhaps easier to procure the plant.
