Aspects of the Phsenogamic Vegetation of Eodriguez, with De- 

 scriptions of new Plants from the laland. By I. Batlet 

 Balfour, D.Sc, F.L.S. 



[Read February 1, 1877.] 

 (Abstract*.) 



As regards the history of its flora, the island of Eodriguez bears a 

 striking resemblance to St. Helena. We read of the latter island 



A full and descriptive account of the botany of Rodriguez, amply illustrated, 

 will hereafter be published by the Royal Society in their general Report of the 

 Venus-transit Expedition to that island. But as a wish has been expressed by 

 several botanists that I should give a risumi of some of the novelties among the 

 flowering plants withovit further delay. I herewith, by permission, lay an abstract 

 of a few of tlie more important points before the Linncan Society.
