62 THE BOTANY OF BERMUDA. 



BUyliia sapida^ Keen. 



A tree of the West Indies; originally from West Africa. In the gar- 

 den at Par-la-ville; flowers in Jnly. Fruit ripe in November. 



Sapindus Saponaria, Linn. Soapberry. 

 In a few gardens ; flowers in November. 



S. longi/olms, Vahl. 

 At Mount Langton ; a small tree which had not flowered down to 1876. 



Dodonfua viscosa, Linn. Broom; Dogwood. 



Pretty generally diffused ; abundant at the east end of Harrington 

 Sound; may be known by its highly colored, winged seed-vessels j 

 flowers in March. Identified by Grisebach and Dr. Rein as D. angvsti- 

 /olia. Lam. Possibly both specimens are found; named after Dodocus, 

 a botanist. 



Neplielium LitcM, Lour. Lee-chee or Litchi. 



Introduced by Governor Elliott about 1853. 



A tree at Mount Langton bore abundantly in 1871 ; flowers about 

 February. Fruit in August. {Dimocarpus Litchi^ Lour.) 



Koelreuteria paniculata. 



A native of China. Introduced. The locality in which it was found 

 has not been noted. 



JPavia, sp. 



A tree in the grounds of Mrs. Ewing, Hamilton, digitate leaves, which 

 has never flowered; appears to be Pavia kumilis of the Horse-chestnut 

 family. 



XXXVII. — Terebinthace^. 



Ehua Toxicodendron, Linn. Poison ivy. 



Native, and among the plants mentioned by the earliest travelers 

 {KiL'.')). Common in good soil, and viewed with much dread by the 

 iiiliabitauts. Different constitutions are susceptible in very different 

 degrees to the poisonous emanations of this plant; many i^ersons can 

 handle it and smell the flowers, which are very fragrant, with impunity ; 

 others have painful blisters produced on the face and hands by going 

 near it, and, as is sometimes asserted, without being conscious of its 

 presence. 



lihus excim, Thunb. 



Introduced from Cambridge, Mass., 1875.
