viously enumerated, observed by me. They are chiefly of an 

 ornamental character : — 



TrcGS 

 English Oak. 



Pepper-tree {Schinns tnoUe). 



Cupressus tnacrocarpa. 



Weeping Willows. 



Salish.iria adiantifolia (Maidenhair Tree). 



Rohinia pseud-Acacia 



Yucca aloifolia. 



Agave atnericana (American Aloe). 



Fourcroya gigantea (Mauritius Hemp). 



Arum Lily [Richardia), here known as Water Lily. 



Strelitzia Nicolai. 



Lilium Harrisii long iff or a {White Lily, which does remarkably 

 well all over the island). 



Alstroemeria peregrina in gardens, and also an escape. 



Bambusa arundinacea (Large Bamboo) forming some noble 

 clumps. 



Fious repens (Creeping Fig), on the Patteson Memorial Church. 

 It would add much to the picturesqueness of the buildings if this 

 Fig were ver}^ freely planted. 



Hedge-plants. 



Duranta stenophylla^ the only Duranta in the Island, makes a 

 splendid hedge, and is often used for that purpose. A similar 

 observation may be made in regard to Tecoma capensis, which is 



very abundant. 



Miscellaneous shrubs. 



Datura suaveolens (Trumpet flower), which grows wild. 



Begonia semper flor ens. Huge plant six (6) feet through and 

 the same across, a very blaze of flowers. I am told it is always 

 in flower and it is a sight to remember. 



China Rose ("Lady Brisbane") in great profusion and some- 

 times wild. 



Oleander, in great profusion, and even wild. 



Periwinkle, wild.
