I muft remark, before we proceed further, that under the generic appellation of 

 Satyrium, we {hall comprehend all the plants of this tribe now found in the 

 ifland of Jamaica, For the neBaria are very various in their figures ; and, fre- 



. quently, not conformable to any of the characters already eftablifhed : tho' they 

 all agree in the general formation of the more efiential parts, and feed-veifels. 

 But we (hall, however, endeavour to be more particular in the fpecific marks 

 of them, as the productions of the clafs are very numerous.

The Satyrium, with one- eared leaves and long {purs. 



I found this plant near Colonel TFilliatns's, in Liguanea : it is very uncommon, and 

 grows generally to the height of eighteen or twenty-two inches. The leaves are 

 oblong, and the ftalk fimple and upright.

The parasitical Satyrium, with red flowers and bulbous roots. 





This is one of the moft beautiful fpecies of this tribe of plants. It is a parafitic, 

 and grows indifferently on all the trees and rocks in the low lands of Jamaica : but 

 it feldom rifes above twelve or fifteen inches in height.
