BOTANY OF THE AZORES. 
Narcissus 
(Aliena ?) 
NB.—The bulbs and withered leaves of the 
Amaryllis were abundant about Horta, in the 
month of June, and. some flowers appeared early 
in September. The Jris, Gladiolus and Narcis- 
sus were seen only in single localities ; the 
flowers gone, and leaves withered. 
Smilax divaricata, Sol. ms. in Herb. Banks. 
Pico. 
This plant corresponds very il with specimens 
of S. mauritanica in the herbarium of Sir W. J. 
Hooker, which is considered synonymous with 
S. tetragona, the name under which Seubert 
places the plant from Pico. In my specimens, 
the stem is terete and striated, though somewhat 
angular where the flowers grow. 
Ruscus androgynus, L. 
Arum Italicum, Mill. Fayal. 
Colocasia antiquorum, Schott.  (Culta.) 
Of these two plants I saw the leaves only: those 
of the Arum almost withered away. I must 
therefore trust to the Flora Azorica for their 
names. I had supposed the Arum to be our 
maculatum, and alluded to the Colocasia under 
name of Caladium, called by the natives “ Coco” 
—typographically improved into “Cocoa,” which 
is a difference indeed. 
Lemna minor, L. 
Potamogeton natans, L. Fayal; Flores; Pico. 
P. heterophyllus, L.2 Flores; Corvo. 
P. pusillus, L. Flores. 
P. pectinatus, L. 
Luzula purpurea, H. Wats. ms. Ins. omnibus. — 
I adopt the original specific name for this species- — 
Dr. C. Lemann informs me that a specimen 18 
? In monte Carneiro, in Fayal.
