Hab. Jamaica. Dr M^Fadyen. (w. 26.) ^ 



Much as the island of Jamaica has been visited in a commer- 

 cial point of view, we are satisfied its extensive woods and lofty 

 mountains are not yet explored as they ought to be, by the 

 botanist ; and we are glad to find that Dr Macfadyen, limited 

 as his professional engagements allow his excursions to be, 

 seldom undertakes a botanical journey that is not rewarded by 

 some new or little known plant. A future number of this work 

 will exhibit a new and very distinct Garrya^ which that gentle- 

 man has discovered in Jamaica. The present plate is devoted 

 to what we consider a new llex^ although the fruit is at present 

 unknown to us. It does not accord with any described species.
