Lettering continues with further description of the plant, concluding: "Cum usus ipsius fructus ad conficiendam chocolatam satis innoluerit; has terras dolendum est curiosis destitui incolis, qui istas colant arbores atque alias id genus plures desquirant in tam vasta & fertili regione procul dubio reperiundas." (since the use of the fruit for making chocolate has grown, it is regrettable that these lands are lacking curious inhabitants who could seek out those trees and several others of the same kind which are no doubt to be found in such a vast and fertile region).
Mount bears number: "77"
