The SPIKE or HEAD of the ÆGYPTIAN MAUZE. Given by Sigr. Boccone (formerly Botanick to the Great Duke of Tuskany) who brought it with him from Sicily, where it is frequently nursed in Gardens. The Figgs (as Acosta calls them) here grow upon it in several Bunches, nine or ten in a Bunch; two inches and ½ long, and as thick as the middle Finger of a labouring man; being now shrunk up, and perhaps also dwarfed by the place of its growth.
