74 THE BOTANY OF BERMUDA. 



Sedum acre, Linn. Stone crop. 



Introduced at Mount Langtou ; this class of garden plants is, how- 

 ever, scarcely known in Bermuda. 



XLIII. — Ehizophgee^. 



EJiizophora Mangle, Linn. Mangrove. 



Abundant in salt marshes everywhere; flowers in February. From 

 rJiizon, a root; fero, I bear; Gr. 



XLIV. — COMBRETACE^. 



Terminalia Catappa, Linn. Demerara almond. 



Some fine trees at Mount Langton; flowers in June; named from the 

 terminal leaves. 



Laguncularia racemosa, Gsert. 



Xative along the shore {Conocarpus raceniosus, Linn.). Common to 

 Southern United States and West Indies. 



Conocarpus erectus, Linn. Sea mulberry; often called bark; button-tree; 

 or alder. 

 Native, and universal along the shores in suitable places. Common 

 to the Southern United States and to the West Indies ; flowers in July. 

 From Jconos, a cone; Jcarpos, a fruit; Gr. 



XLV. — Myrtace^. 



Jamhosa vulgaris, DC. {Eugenia Jambos, Linn.) Eose apple. 



To be found in a few gardens only. Flowers about March. Fruit 

 ripe in June. 



Eugenia axillaris, Poir., lb. loc. Stopper. 



Native. Common in the Walsingham tract, and occasionally met 

 with elsewhere, e. g., at Point Shares. It flowers in September. This 

 plant is peculiarly infested by the white coccus, and rarely has a healthy 

 appearance. It is hard to find flower or berries. 



E. unijlora, Liun., ih. loc. {E. MicJielii, Lam.) Surinam cherry. 



Naturalized, and common in gardens; both flower and fruit may be 

 found in nearly every month of the year, but flowers chiefly February 

 to May. In good soil the trees bear a very agreeable fruit, but it varies 

 much in quality. Trees newly introduced from Trinidad, of a thorny 

 variety, were much superior to those of local origin.
