The flowers of this Myrtle have very little beauty, but the 

 fine large globular berries, which exift at the fame time, make 

 ample amends. A native of the mountains in the north part 

 of Jamaica, and appears to be far from tender, for although it 

 was removed from the ftove and flood in a north window, in 

 the month of May, when the weather was cold for the feafon, 

 it did not feem at all injured, but continued to produce both 

 flowers and fruit ; the former indeed never perfectly expanded. 

 May be propagated by cuttings. 



Our drawing was made from a plant received from Mr. 

 Loddiges.
