72 THE BOTANY OF BERMUDA. 



Hill, from New York plants. There is nothing to prevent the fruit be- 

 ing abundant. 



Rubiis idceus, Linn. Raspberry. 



It is clearly established that Bermuda is beyond the southern limit

 Lefroy and Hon. Eugenius Harvey, 1872-76, and fruit actually produced

Crafccf/u-s pyracantha, Pers. Hawthorn.
