1919] WILSON, THE BONIN ISLANDS 115 



a small experimental garden, but the above-mentioned plants should be 

 credited to the early white settlers. For forest planting the Japanese have 



ifusa Merrill 



equisetifolia 



elastica Roxb. To their temple ground the Japanese priests have intro- 

 duced Ficus pnmila L. and Buxus liukiuensis Mak. 



For native plants which the original white settlers found useful or inter- 

 esting they most naturally coined names, and these are given in Robertson's 

 paper already mentioned on page 100. To aid in the identity of these 

 I was fortunate enough to enlist the services of the Rev. J. Gonzales 

 who has known the plants by their vernacular names from his childhood. 

 He procured me specimens of all but one or two, and the list of these with 

 their scientific names may fitly conclude this sketch of the ligneous flora of 

 the interesting Bonin Islands.
