Thb Panama Star and Herald refers to the bushes, and trees growing in the ruins of the great Aspinwall Hotel at Panama, : as afi illustration of the vigour and rapidity of vegetation in the tropics, and says, “It isscarcely more than two years since this conflagration occurred, and yet there are now growing within the walls trees at least 30ft. in height. They belong to what are called trumpet trees (* genus Cecropi *) and the branches are’ said to be crowding out the highest doors and windows, so as to render it probable that in their further growth they will throw down the wall with which they are interlaced.”
