944 LIST OF PLANTS 
April 27th.—Had the plants taken to Mr. Fry's to-day, where they will 
remain until I can take them on board a steamer for England. 
April 28th.—In Rio. 
April 29th to May 2nd.—On an excursion to Belem and the forests on 
the Serra, where I collected a number of plants of Physurus 
May 8th to June 2nd.—On an excursion to the banks of the river 
Parahyba, where I collected a number of plants of Cattleya crispa and 
Lelia Perrinii, and plants of "id dar (Berberis glaucescens), an Acan- 
thad with pink flowers. The country here was the cradle of coffee 
cultivation in Brazil, and the forests which once coyered the whole of 
its surface have nearly all disappeared; it is only here and there that a 
piece of virgin forest is to be met with now, and it is only in these pe 
of the original forest that the Cattleyas, &c., are to be found. Some oft ; 
capeiras, or young forests on the aban doned plantations, are already 0 
large growth, but it is vain to look for any of these beautiful epip T 
there. In fact, they are becoming scarcer and searcer every year with 
successive derrubadas, and burnings of their native woods, in which 10 
doubt thousands of fine plants have perished. 
June 8th.—Sailed from Rio for England.
