LlLIACE^. 



Cordyline terminalis, Kunth. 



The Polynesian ti {Cordyline terminalis) occurs in several places on 

 Sunday Island, such as Denham Bay, Terraces, and Coral Bay, all being 

 habitable parts. There is one plant on Meyer Island, and one or two in the 

 forest on Sunday Island. The species does not spread into the forest, but 

 has every appearance of being a survivor of the abandoned cultivations of a 

 native race, of whose occupation on Sunday Island there is good evidence. 

 The Sunday Island plant appears to be a highly cultivated variety ; it 

 flowers regularly, but has never been known to bear fruit ; it is propa- 

 gated by means of its roots. I have no hesitation in including it among 

 the list of plants introduced by man.
