BOTANY OF THE AZORES. 
applicable to the present species are already ap- 
plied otherwise. I have therefore taken up the 
name of the steam vessel (Styx), from which I 
landed to botanize, and the name is really not ill 
applied to the dark foliage and sombre appear- 
ance of this shrub, with its skeleton-like branches, 
bare of leaves, except near their summits.

Seubert places this as a variety (brevifolia, 
Hochst.) of the species to which it is here doubt- 
fully assigned. I have not seen ripe fruit, but 
the young fruit, equally as the leaves, differ con- 
siderably from those of all the examples of J. 
Oxycedrus which have come under my obser- 
vation, excepting one from Madeira.
