This is apparently the commonest shrubby plant in the islands, where it is known as 

 the " Common Sage." It was abundant when Michaux visited the islands in 1806, and were 

 there not evidence to the contrary, we should have supposed that it reached them inde- 

 pendently of human agency. The Hon. J. H. Darrell writes concerning this shrub — " This 

 was brought here from the Bahamas (as I was told by my father) by Colonel Spofforth, in 

 the latter part of the last century, with the view of using it as fuel for ovens and lime- 

 kilns, so as to diminish the great consumption of cedar trees for those purposes."
