BOTANY OF THE AZORES. 381 
greater botanical interest than would otherwise appertain 
totheir own scanty flora; which itself has probably been 
augmented by the importation of several species from Europe. 
The consideration of this peculiar interest induces me to 
print a supplementary list to the * Catalogue of Azorean 
Plants," which was published in the London Journal of 
Botany about three years ago (vol. 3, p. 582-617.) : I am 
now enabled to add nearly fifty phænogamous species, dis- 
covered in the Island of St. Michael's, or San Miguel, (with 
very few exceptions) through the persevering researches of a 
resident botanist, Thomas Carew Hunt, Esq., Her Majesty's 
consul at the Azores. 
And it seems desirable also to place on record some cor- 
rections and other notices relating to species included in the 
"Catalogue" formerly published, which subsequent cultiva- 
tion of them in England, the receipt of more perfect speci- 
mens from Mr. Hunt, or the remarks of other botanists, 
have better prepared me to do. All the species enumerated 
in the subjoined supplementary list, excepting Viola tricolor — 
and Lolium perenne, which were sent from Flores by Dr. 
Mackay, have been communicated to the Botanical Society 
of London or to myself, from the islands of St. Mary's (very — 
few) and St. Michael's, by Mr. Hunt, together with an — 
ample supply of duplicates of most of the rarer species of the 
Azores, for distribution to the members and correspondents. 
of that active and useful Society. I may be allowed to 
Observe here, while referring to Mr. Hunt's valuable exer- 
tions towards completing our knowledge of Azoric botany, 
| Wit in sending his collected specimens to the London 
Society, he has taken the course which best insured their 
. immediate distribution into numerous herbaria in England,
