Of the 51 native species 2 are new, viz. Phyllunthus 

 viauritianus, H. H. Johnston, and Carpha costularioides, C. 

 B. Clarke. 



Except where otherwise noted, the Phanerogamia have 

 been identified by Mr. J. G. Baker, Keeper of the 

 Herbarium, Piojal Gardens, Kew, and author of the above- 

 mentioned work, to whom I am particularly indebted for 

 his universal kindness in naming most of the specimens 

 sent to Kew for identification. 



As the present paper forms the fifth and last of my 

 reports on the flora of Mauritius, I take this opportunity 

 of expressing my gratitude to Mr. "W. T. Thiselton Dyer, 

 Director of the Eoyal Gardens, Kew, on whose recom- 

 mendation every facility for making botanical collections 

 was rendered me by the military authorities at Mauritius, 

 and to whose Herbarium staff at Kew I am indebted for 

 the identification of most of the plants. I am also much 

 indebted, for kind assistance, to Mr. C. B. Clarke; Messrs. 

 H. & J. Groves; Dr. E. Hackel; Mr. J. Home, late Director 

 of "Woods and Eorests at Mauritius; Mr. W. Scott, present 

 Director of "Woods and Eorests at Mauritius; and M. A. 

 Daruty de Grandpre, Secretary of the Eoyal Society of 

 Arts and Sciences of Mauritius.
