The Immaculate Conception

8 December 2021

For the Immaculate Conception... Two bead trees (Adenanthera pavonina, also called false red sandlewood) flank the entrance to Kamuzu Academy's library. They are native to India. It is alleged that their seeds were used once to weight gold: 30 seeds = 11.5 grammes.
