Petumbos are a yellow fruit (growing on a shrub like a vine) bigger than cherries with a pretty large stone.  These are sweet, but rough in the mouth.

Mungaroos are a fruit as big as cherries, red on one side and white on the other side:  they are said to be full of small seeds, which are commonly swallowed in eating them.

Muckishaws are said to be a fruit as big as crab-apples, growing on large trees.  They have also small seeds in the middle and are well tasted.

Ingwas are a fruit like the locust-fruit, 4 inches long and one broad.  They grow on high trees.

Otee is a fruit as big as a large coconut.  It hath a husk on the outside, and a large stone within, and is accounted a very fine fruit.

Musteran-de-ovas are a round fruit as big as large hazelnuts, covered with thin brittle shells of a blackish colour:  they have a small stone in the middle, enclosed within a black pulpy substance, which is of a pleasant taste.  The outside shell is chewed with the fruit, and spit out with the stone, when the pulp is sucked from them.  The tree that bears this fruit is tall, large, and very hard wood.  I have not seen any of these five last-named fruits, but had them thus described to me by an Irish inhabitant of Bahia; though as to this last I am apt to believe I may have both seen and eaten of them in Achin in Sumatra.

Of the palmberries, physick-nuts, mendibees, etc.  And their roots and herbs, etc.

Palm-berries (called here dendees) grow plentifully about Bahia; the largest are as big as walnuts; they grow in bunches on the top of the body of the tree, among the roots of the branches or leaves, as all fruits of the palm kind do.  These are the same kind of berries or nuts as those they make the palm-oil with on the coast of guinea, where they abound:  and I was told that they make oil with them here also.  They sometimes roast and eat them; but when I had one roasted to prove it I did not like it.

Physick-nuts, as our seamen called them, are called here pineon; and agnus castus is called here carrepat:  these both grow here:  so do mendibees, a fruit like physick-nuts.  They scorch them in a pan over the fire before they eat them.

Here are also great plenty of cabbage-trees, and other fruits, which I did not get information about and which I had not the opportunity of seeing; because this was not the season, it being our spring, and consequently their autumn, when their best fruits were gone, though some were left.  However I saw abundance of wild berries in the woods and fields, but I could not learn their names or nature.

They have withal good plenty of ground fruit, as callavances, pineapples, pumpkins, watermelons, musk-melons, cucumbers, and roots; as yams, potatoes, cassava, etc.  Garden herbs also good store; as cabbages, turnips, onions, leeks, and abundance of other salading, and for the pot.  Drugs of several sorts, namely sassafras, snake-root, etc.  Beside the woods I mentioned for dyeing and other uses as fustick, speckled-wood, etc.
