66 THE BOTANY OF BERMUDA. 



Dolichos Lablah, Liun. 



A beautiful variety with purple veius is to be found in some gardens 

 at Saint George's ; perhaps D, ptirpureus. 



Another at Mount Langton. 



Canavalia obtusifolia, DC. Bay beau. 



Native, and to be found mixed with Ipomea pes caprce along the south 

 shore ; flowers in December. It is mentioned as early as 1G23. 



Psoralea glandulosa, Linn. 



Sent from Cambridge in 1874. Doing well in 1877. 



BaUamocarpon hrevifolium, Chois. 



A packet of seeds of thira valuable plant was received from Kew in 

 April, 1875. They germinated, but the young plants were all in succes- 

 sion attacked by some insect and none of them survived. 



Adenocarpus telonensis, DC. 

 Introduced from Cambridge, Mass., 1874, and living 1877. 



Argyrolohium androscemifoUum. 

 The same remark. 



AnthylUs Barha-Jovis, Linn. 

 The same remark. 



Tamarindus Indica, Linn. Tamarind. 



To judge from the size of the oldest trees, the Tamarind must have 

 been introduced a century ago. One of the finest trees in the Islands is 

 a Tamarind at Point Shares, which is 9 feet G inches in girth. One at 

 Brightwood is said to be 14 feet in girth. No use is made of the fruit. 

 This is but one of many examjiles of the neglect of minor industries bj' 

 the natives of Bermuda. Preserves are imported, notwithstanding the 

 abundance of native fruits suitable for making them. 



Seeds of the great leguminous climber of the West Indies, Entada 

 scandens, Benth., are often washed ashore in Bermuda, but the plant is 

 not known to have ever grown. 



Cccsalpiiiia pulcherrima, Sw. Barbadoes' Pride. 



Barbadoes flower-fence, at the rectory, Southampton Parish, and 

 elsewhere; naturalized in the West Indies; originally from the East 

 Indies. {Poinciana pulcherrima, Linn.) Flowers in August.
