Plantain Garden river, which are making an equal progress, the 

 largest measuring 13 feet high and 11 1 inches in circumference 

 round the stem. The Botanic Garden in Liguanea contains 20 

 plants, which, notwithstanding the inferiority of the soil of that 

 parish, are thriving exceedingly well ; the largest is a beautiful 

 bushy plant 7 feet inches high and 7^ inches in circumference 

 of stem ; 28 plants have been propagated by layers from the 

 two gardens, and some gentlemen in the Leeward parishes have 

 succeeded in striking several cuttings. 



The Ayyah {Eugenia malaccensis) and Rattah (Inocarpus 

 edulis) of Otaheite, are in a very flourishing state in various parts 

 of the Island, particularly in the Liguanea Garden and the Nursery 

 at Bath ; 16 plants of the Ayyah have been cultivated by layers 

 and cuttings. 



Eight plants of the Avee {SjMfidias mmigifera) were landed in 

 tolerable health from the Providence, all of which are since dead, 

 but there are several plants of a variety of the Avee in the Botanic 

 Garden of Liguanea, which were imported at the same time with 

 the Mangos and Cinnamons, some of them, however, are not in a 

 very thriving state, and this variety is much inferior to the 

 Otaheite kind. 



The Mattee and Ettow {Gordia Myxa), dye plants of Otaheite, 

 have succeeded wherever they have been planted ; 38 of the former 

 have been raised by layers. 



The Fee^h {'Tacca pinnatijida) of Otaheite just keeps alive in 

 this country ; it has been tried in various soils and situations, but 

 without success. 



The Vahee, or large red plantain of Otaheite (Musa sapientum) 

 has produced eight fine suckers, but has not yet fruited there are 

 also several suckers from the Oriah, which appears to be the same 

 as the common maiden plantain of this country. 



All the Timor plants, as well as those in the Botanic Garden of 

 Liguanea, as in the Nursery at Bath, are making a very rapid 

 progress ; 45 plants of the Jambolan {Eugenia Jamholana) and 36 

 of the Lemon China have been propagated by layers. 



The Nanka or East India Jaack {Arfocarpus integrifolia) is in 

 a very forward state, and appears a difleerent variety of that already 

 bearing fruit here. 



The Cherimailha {Anona Gherimolia) and Bimbling {Averrhoa 

 Bilimhi) have already perfected their fruits, and a great number 

 of each kind have been already raised from the seed. 



The Peenang or Betel-nut palm {Areca Catechu), together with 

 the long and black peppers, have been raised from layers and 

 seeds, but the true black pepper yet remains to be introduced into 

 this island. 



The Jambo iremava succeeds very well ; this is the same plant 

 as the Ayyah of Otaheite {Eugenia malaccensis).
