that species in Don and Decandolle, in being entirely smooth, 

 except the inside of the corolla, which is downy ; in having 

 mucronate leaves ; and in having greenish yellow flowers. 

 Perhaps it may be the var. B. Glabra or T. Asthmatica, or 

 what is more likely, T. laevigata, to the description of which 

 in Decandolle it answers better than to that of T. Asthmatica 

 —vide : DC. VIII p, 612. This species is very common and 

 growing in every quarter of the Island that was visited. 



No. 2. Strejotocaulon species : This is a large strong growing 

 climber with the habit of Cryptostegia. It is not in the Royal 

 College Herbarium. In fact, it seems to me to be new for 

 these parts. It resembles a plant which I found at Curepipe 

 in 1868, and which was referred by Dr. Meller to StreptocaU' 

 Ion. These specimens were destroyed at Dr. Meller's house 

 in the hurricane of that year. I shall look for that plant the 

 time I am at Curepipe. This is the plant that I called Feri- 

 ploca in a former list. One plant only was found and there 

 were no flowers on it. 



No. 3. Seaweed ) G-rowing togsther on the hollows of the 

 No. 4. do. j rocks in a cave or inlet in which the sea 



beats in rough weather. 



No. 5. Graminoe species : Not in the Eoyal Collegn Herba- 

 rium, and perhaps also new for Mauritius. 



No. 6. Cyperus species : Perhaps Cyperus Maritimus. That 

 species is found on the mainland — Mauritius — and is in the 

 Eoyal College Herbarium. 



No. 7. 4Jynodon species : Not common. 



No. 8. Gramhim species : Eare. Only one small plant, and 

 it had been eaten by the goats and it is difficult to say whether 

 it is in the Royal College Herbarium or not. 



No. 9. Graminoe species : Not common. Perhaps Panicum 

 hrevi folium or Panicum repens, both are Mauritius species. 



No. 10. Adiantum Gaudatum -. common. 



No. 11. Selaginella species : not common. 



No. 12. Moss from trees : common on the higher parts of 

 the Island. 



No, 13. Ipomoea maritima. 



No. 14. Badula rpecies (?) A small treee 12 feet in height 

 with the habit of growth of some of the large growing Ardisias,
