1t is perhaps not generally known
that the three-colnered nuts, called
Brazil nuts, grow in packed clusters
enclosed in shells which are roughly
spherical in form and have somewhat
the appearance Of rusty cannon balls.
In the tropical forests there is an
other nut, bearing plant which goes
under the name of the cannon ball
tree. The nutshells are almost per
tect.y spherical, and would readily be
mistaken for cannon balls.
