48 THE VOYAGE OF H.M.S. CHALLENGER. 



PRIMULACE^E. 



Anagallis arvensis, Linn. 



Anagallis arvensis, Linn., Sp. PL, ed. 1, p. 148; Chapm., Fl. Southern U.S., p. 281. 



Bermudas. — Introduced. Very common — Michaux ; Lane; Jones; Rein; Moseley ; 



Lefroy. 



Northern temperate regions, &c, of the Old World, and naturalised in North America. 



OLEACE/E. 

 Olea europaea, Linn. 



Olea eurqpcea, Linn., Sp. PL, ed. 1, p. 8; DC, Prodr., viii. p. 284; Proc. and Trans. Nova Scotia 

 Inst. Nat. So., 1873, p. 262. 



Bermudas. — Introduced. Common in some parts of the islands — Jones ; Moseley; 

 Lefroy. 



Introduced from Europe soon after the settlement of the islands. 



The " Olea americana, Linn.," of Lane's list, is probably an error, as that species has 

 not been found by later collectors. 



Forestiera porulosa, Poir. 



Forestiera porulosa, Poir. in Lam. Encyel. SuppL, ii. p. 664; Griseb., Fl. Brit. W. Ind., p. 406 



(excl. syn. Piptolepis phillyreoides, Benth.); Chapm., Fl. Southern U.S., p. 370. 

 Myrica segregata, Jacq., Ic. PL Rar., t. 625. 



Bermudas. — Indigenous. Walsingham — Lefroy; Boaz Island — Reade. 

 Florida ; West Indies. 



Sir J. H. Lefroy and Mr Beade are the only collectors of this interesting shrub, the 

 female of which, the former states, is very rare. The Bermudan specimens have rather 

 larger leaves than the Floridan and West Indian, and the pores, so conspicuous in the 

 other specimens, are almost obsolete in the Bermudan. Specimens in the Kew Herbarium 

 cultivated in Europe, and Jacquin's figure, come much nearer the insular plant. 



We suspect this to be the "Wild Olive" of the first settlers. 



Jasminum gracile, Andr. 



Jasminum gracile, Andr., Bot. Repos., t. 127; Griseb., Fl. Brit. W. Ind., p. 406.

 Jasminum volubile, Jacq., Hort. Schcenb., t. 321. 



Bermudas.— Introduced. Common among rocks at the caves near Walsingham — 

 Lefroy ; without locality— Reade.
