The imall parasitical Mifletoe, with tubular leaves. 





Thefe plants are pretty frequent in 'Jamaica, and commonly found growing n all 

 the larger trees in every Savannah. The firft fort is employed by the inhabitants of 

 that ifland, for the fame purpofes, for which the mifletoe of the oak is in England r ; but I 

 have never known it to have any remarkable effect. The lait ipecies is very rare, 

 and feldom moots above five or feven inches in length; it grows upon the fmalier 

 plants, is very fucculent, and feldom bears either fruit or flower.
