114 THE BOTANY OF BERMUDA. 



Laugtoii; flowers in June and July, with a strong odor, very disa- 

 greeable to many persons. Bermuda is probably the most northern 

 locality of this palm. 



Cocos nucifera, Linn. Cocoa nut. 



Introduced. The trees are not numerous, and the fruit, although 

 fully formed, is not brought to perfection. It does not occur on sandy 

 beaches, and is not mentioned in any early accounts. 



Fhcenix dactylifera, Linn. Date palm. 



Specimens are not uncommon, but many of them being isolated trees, 

 either stamenate or pistillate, the fruit is rarely seen. It is, however, 

 produced, and ripens in St. George's.
