in but one or two localities ; 34 of these are either found only in the 
Walsingham district, or rarely elsewhere. This seems to be one of 
the few limited tracts that have never been entirely cleared of the 
trees, nor burned over. Owing to the large amount of rocky and 
rough places and ragged ledges, where the patches of good soil are of 
very limited extent, considerable tracts of land on this estate appear 
never to have been cultivated, so that the primitive vegetation has 
escaped destruction more than in any other tract. 
Most of those so restricted are of West Indian origin, but the 
Ampelopsis is the common American woodbine, and the Celtis is 
that of the eastern United States. Nine of these are ferns, viz.: 
Aspidium aculeatum. Asplenium Laffanianum. 
Nephrodium amplum. A. rhyzophyllum. 
N: Bermudianum. A. dentatum. 
Polypodium pectinatum. Pteris heterophylla. 
Polypodium elasticum. 
One belongs to the Lycopodiacer (Psilotum triquetrum Sw.); like 
the ferns, it occurs about the mouths of caves; also on the shore cliffs. 
Fourteen are trees and shrubs, viz.:—
